I'll admit it... I'm a sucker for blast processing!

The 1983 Famicom design couldn't have been more different than the 1985 NES design. Same console, completely different design for a different retail region. When Japan redesigned the NES for the States, they wanted it to function and look like a VCR, because of the massive popularity of the video cassette recorder, here.

Never forget where it all started. Thank you, Moms!

So, get this... Atari dove into the personal home computer scene in the early 80s with the Atari 400. Mostly used for computer programs, they released a few video games on it since that was for what they were mainly known. In a twist of irony, some people only wanted to play those video games for the 400 so they created a separate home console to just play those games. This is called the Atari XEGS.

The brand new slate bumper pool table is now here! This is to remind you that Prodigy never stops improving. Call it an addiction. We just can't stop making the place a better gameroom every day. More improvements coming soon...

This weekend will be the last time this bumper pool table will be here. We've been together since the beginning (8 years), but it's time to bring in something new... a brand new bumper pool table! The new table is slate and has steel bumpers; a real professional table. I'm very excited to bring this new table in, but am sad to say goodbye to an old trusty friend. That being said, anyone want to buy it? Let me know...

It's amazing how 90's Japanese design used to be so different than 90's American design. Same console... different market. One is curvy, almost Wonder Bread bag looking... the other is sharp, edgy with strong purple accents.

Here at Prodigy, we care... about your hands. "Atari Claw" (or also known as 'joystick thumb' if you use your thumb on the joystick) is a real thing, as the Atari 2600 joystick causes massive fatigue in the hand and wrists after inexperienced prolonged use. Our solution is to offer a Nintendo NES style controller to use, with a smooth D pad. Of course, you can also use a Sega Genesis controller, but we like this Atari branded one. Who else does this?

There's nothing like Prodigy.

This is evidence of what almost 50 years of home controller technology has brought us. Just always remember what Atari started, we've just refined what they created.

It's about time you revisit your roots and hit that original again.

The Dark Souls board game got some play last night... after the 90 minute setup time.

Everyone knows the major rule here about keeping your feet on the ground when seated at the consoles, but I'm willing to break that rule...

Mom: My little Jimmy is only 10, he'd never smoke! Atari: Hold my Lynx!

Let's compare... most trading cards in the 80's were $.25 per pack of 5; sometimes even being stickers! Today, yes the cards are a...

The Super Scope just didn't grab the tread like the Zapper did. They both had minimal library on their respective consoles, but Duck Hunt...
