Atari Game Collection | ASMR🕹 

Oh I remember the days of having to turn to channel 3 or 4 to play games.

Watching a young person look at Atari stuff makes my heart feel good.

I have more and I still play. LOVE my Atari!

I'm really looking forward to the Restoration Video.

I never had interest in Atari until my youngest wanted one because he thought it was so cool that they made something that could play games back then, and I’ve come to love the artistry and imagination of something so limited that brought the games home. I spend a lot of my time cleaning retro games these days. Buy a lot of Q-tips, Goo Gone, isopropyl alcohol (highest strength you can find), Brite Boy and any all-purpose cleaning spray. If you’re serious about wanting to know how to clean them right, respond to this and I’ll type more, but it’s a lot to type otherwise...

Prim's shirt kind of reminds me of Spider-Man.

I officially feel old. The very first video game system that I ever had as a very little kid was the Atari (well, it technically belonged to my parents since they had it before I was even born). Then, I got the NES in 1986 when I was 5 years old (I totally just dated myself). I actually remember having the E.T. game on Atari and I believe that it's probably still somewhere in a box in my parents' garage. Hell, my old Atari system and all of the games we had may even still be somewhere at my parents' house as well. I'll have to take a look when I have time.

Hey! I restore old video game stuff in my free time! The best thing to clean mechanical bits is 98% isopropyl alcohol (maybe a different % but high 90s works best). It also helps pull stickers off but the channel Odd Tinkering could explain a lot better.

As long as it makes cool sounds and we have you close up whispering, a cleaning video sounds great :D

Ooh yess! I’ve been waiting for this video. 🤓🕹🙌

My first thought after seeing the title of this video was, “How many copies of E.T. do you have?”

Prim these early 80's Atari games like Defender, Donkey Kong, Phoenix , Centipede, Pac Man and others as you may or may not know were based on the hottest video arcade games of the day. A great time to live.

So funny seeing your face as you pick up that game switch box, wondering what it even is. It's one of those items that I guess shows someone's age/generation if they recognise it or not. Good upload though, some nice games in there. The 2600 and the ZX Spectrum 48k were my first gaming machines. Quite a few of those in my collection back then, and still

Ahh I know this is gonna be good! Love you and your videos 🥰

14:40 that is an RF to coax adapter

Your voice is very relaxing 😴

Combat was my favorite!!!

the 8-track cart actually adds more time-correct nostalgia to the package :)

These old games were made so sturdy to withstand the test of time. Cool to see game history! P.S. you’ll enjoy the Switch because theres a new Luigis Mansion too!

Quote for today:"Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant."

Prim, I heard a lot about Atari games. You are an expert on these games. You have a very nice variety in your collection. They look like fun games. The tapping sounds are relaxing. I like the bright red color on your nails. Matches the color of your shirt. I love your whispering voice. Sounds so soft and relaxes me. You have a beautiful tone in your voice.

Love your game videos. This one is like an archeologist/treasure hunter digging up some dusty, ancient treasures :)

Pretty curious what's on that cassette tape

My parents vetoed Atari because the cord was so short so we went with Intelevision.

Too cute and relaxing.😴😴😴

My favorite moment of the video is grand funk railroad 😂

14:33 The switcher! My face lit up when I saw that. We're all used to consoles simply plugging into televisions and starting up with just the press of the power button, but the Atari 2600 didn't quite work like that. You needed to hook that device up to the back of the TV, and when you wanted to play the Atari you had to reach back and slide the switch up to "Computer" so the console could display on the screen.

I love your whispering, it's so soothing 🥰

Loved it Prim, you brought back so many childhood memories 😀

clean with isopropil alcohol and a used old toothbrush, its what is used to clean up electronic components 👍

Pitfall and Stars Wars were my 2 favorites on Atari.

ILEK ATARI

First Prim video I didn't sleep to because I was to excited about what all she got! Haha Space Invaders was and still is one of my favorite games! 🙂

I have an Atari

The Combat game came with the original Atari 2600 syatem back in the day. The item that says Computer and TV is the power switcher to switch between TV screen and game screen.

Absolutely loving the wonderful tingly gamer vibes. Hope you had a fantastic weekend.🎮🎮🎮🕹🕹😊😊😊

Omg I never seen a Atari Console or games before only in movies when I was going up my first console was sega Genesis/N64 i definitely love the tapping triggers out those games you showed I would of course play Star Wars V I’m pretty sure you have all my favorite console systems lol you should try the switch I heard animal crossing was really awesome to play thank you prim I would love to more amazing videos like this in the future hope you have a wonderful week 🦋✨🐞🧸☀️✨🎬🕹❤️🤍🌼🌼🐞🌸🌺🌼🌙✨❤️🐞🤍🧸☀️✨🕹🕹🕹✨❤️🤍

❤️❤️❤️

Another winning video! I think I can generalize and say that fans of ASMR like to watch people clean things, so my vote is for making the game cleaning video, haha!

Wow! The good old Atari. Great memories lol.

Love these game videos, would love to see a game play video.

Yay was waiting for this! Edit: space invaders is a classic

Love GFR!

that empire strikes back game was a blast i would play that for hours

• Was the 8-track from before they were Grand Funk Railroad? 🤔 • The switch is missing the spade-connectors (not that it matters, you can't connect an Atari to a TV made in the past 25+ years; it uses combined-AV RF output so you'll need some sort of converter to use it).

Good morning Prim! Happy Memorial Day! ❤️❤️

I have that exact same Atari. It was a newer model.

Ohhh, you have the same model I have! The "2600 Jr" as fans call it. It was called that because it was smaller than the previous models of Atari 2600.

You’d go crazy with a Lady Dimitrescu RP

holy cow prim your so pretty

The Enduro game can be played as a "minigame" in Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War - in the arcade level

All I know about cartridges now is, blowing them is not good for them.... My childhood is a lie, everyone thought it helped.

Prim the gamer!!!!

Timestamps: 2:56 Sssnake 3:50 Coconuts 4:25 Super Breakout 5:00 Basketball 5:28 Space Invaders 5:55 Oink! 6:44 Phoenix 7:37 Enduro 7:51 E.T. 8:30 Defender 9:00 Donkey Kong 9:40 Centipede 10:08 Fast food 10:45 Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back 11:17 Bowling 11:45 Yars' Revenge 12:23 Combat 13:00 Airlock

It's never breaks?! HOW do you keep the cadence in your voice throughout! Fun vid too Atari was a blast when we were kids

It looks like the people might have had a burst pipe, and some of the cartridges got water damaged. A few even looked moldy. Definitely clean them, maybe even with gloves and a mask so you don’t breathe in anything toxic.

Man i thought you were going to drop the conceit after a few seconds what is going on

Some classic stuff here! FWIW, I think that "Yars' Revenge" was the absolute best original game (i.e., not based on an arcade game and didn't, to my knowledge, have any subsequent releases) for the Atari 2600. When you think of the limitations of the 2600, it's amazing how much creativity the designers eeked out in this game.

ASMR Spider-Girl ❤️

0:00 Ohhhhhh another game collection vid from Prim... And it's on something from my childhood this time, Atari. This ought to be good... :) 0:55 The best way to clean old game cartridge contacts is with electrical contact cleaner on one end of a q-tip cotton swab and using the other side to dry them off. Then, let the carts sit for a few minutes to fully dry off or use a can of compressed air to force the issue. If you don't have electrical contact cleaner, you can also use 91% pure (or better) isopropyl rubbing alcohol. Do NOT use water or common household cleaners. For cleaning the external shell, just use a wet wipe and be gentle on the label. Some of those labels don't stick too well after 40+ years. 1:10 - 1:27 That's the 2nd revision of the Atari 2600 jr. model. The jr. model was how Atari re-launched the console in 1986 for $50 as a budget system. I have 2 of those in my collection. 7:15 Getting a console with a box full of games for only $35 is always a good deal. That being said, most old Atari 2600 stuff isn't worth much anymore. That market fizzled years ago after all the adults that played that system as kids reacquired what they wanted. 12:18 Yar's Revenge is usually regarded as one of the Atari 2600's best titles. It was also programmed by the same game designer that did ET. 12:49 Combat was the original system pack-in game. The system was first launched in 1977. 14:36 That's an RF adapter. You use it to plug the console into the coax port on the back of an old CRT-style TV. You don't need it if you get a Coaxial F Plug to RF adapter. They are cheap and easy to find on Amazon or Ebay. The new adapter would also provide a MUCH better signal. 19:32 Sure, I'll watch a cleaning video. Hopefully the info that I provided above will help with that... *Games from this video that are also in my collection:* Basketball Bowling Centipede (Pity that Atari didn't make this compatible with the paddle controllers.) Combat Defender Donkey Kong E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (It came with a collection I bought from a garage sale for $40. It's basically the bad penny of game collecting... You always eventually get stuck with one of them. :P ) Enduro Phoenix Space Invaders Super Breakout Yar's Revenge

Watching this, I wonder if this is how my grandpa used to feel watching me check out his old hand-cranked Victrola gramophone.

I had one that was my older brother's. Me and my younger brother used to play it in our room. The NES stayed in the living room. And I figure you can clean them just like Nintendo tapes(that's what we used to call them back in the day. Tapes. Music was on tapes, movies on tapes, video games on tapes. Nobody said "cartridges".)

Hope you can get the games to work Prim. They're proper old school. Thanks for the video.

That little box cables from the Atari console to your TV to use your TV screen to play the games

Nice Video ❤️♥️👏🏻👍😊😄☺️❤️😁🤗👌👌👌

Hold onto that Grand Funk 8 track.....a collector would love that. Several of your games were quite popular back in those days. If those are clean and working, I think you will be glad you spent your 35 dollars. Centepede, Donkey Kong, Space Invaders, Defender, Combat and some of the others were cool back in the day.

Lol just curious not trying to be rude but you look like you’re 17 just wondering how old are you? Because that game system was back in my day and I’m 38.

This is the only game system I ever played. Loved it. Space Invaders was my favorite of the games you have. Combat came with the system. The others would be purchased extra. Sounds like you got a great deal.

Hi prim!

Howdy partners 👍

Ola Kerida Koma tas? * c caga en sima * ehh mevoy porque tengo Sueño

Hi Prim 🙋‍♂️

One thing to note about old Atari games. The picture on the game may not have anything to do with the game itself...lol. As long as it all works, you did well for $35.00.

Really Good ASMR 💖😃💖🤗💖😴💖

Nice Video ❤️♥️👏🏻👍😊😄☺️❤️😁🤗👌👌👌

I love vintage things. I still have the Sears Super Video Arcade (an Intellevision knockoff) that I got for Christmas when I was a little kid. And it still works. I also have a Commodore 64 and Commodore 128 personal computer systems and they still work.

Best part of the video is when she just started pulling random stuff out of the pile 😂

And what it did to her asmr noe wans going to believe…just like this next one13:24

Just blow in the cartridge but that isn't really ASMR

Do you actually have an Atari? RJ

OMG. There are games here I have not even heard of, and I had that exact Atari 2600 console. I will say...some of these games are seriously primitive. Also - that Computer / TV switch box is what you would have used to hook up the Atari to the old vacuum tube TV. You will need converter to hook it up to a modern TV, or an old fashioned vacuum tube television.

Hi Prim🥰😇🌸🌺🌻

Hey , hardest working lady, Atari wow I bet this system is older than you are, Granddaddy of all computer gaming systems🎙✌️😎

You got a bargain!

You got a total bargain Prim! Some of those carts will clean up well, and the system looks clean. A few rarer titles in there too. Thanks for posting this 🙂 Loving all the content!

cool video Prim. Centipede and Space Invaders are old classics , so you should enjoy those. I laughed when you were confused about the 8-track and switchbox. There's a cool channel called @Odd Tinkering which shows techniques for cleaning old games. Don't use alcohol on the cartridge picture labels, the image will rub off. Don't breathe in any of the dust or grime either- maybe wear gloves for handling the next bundle you buy? love ya Prim.

I ain't touched an Atari in years. Big nostalgia.

You still have all those Atari games including the Atari set? I wonder if they still work???????

BRB going to go get myself an Atari now :)

I remember my Grandpa had an Intelevision when i was a kid - it was not too good Atari pwned. 8 track grand funk!! 😆 😆

You should make a video playing some video game...

i literally played these games.....until my dad threw the atari in the garbage can oops. hey prim, sick vids, you are like my fav asmr hero.

Such cool art on those old cartridges Looks like you need an 8 track player too now

This is the quickest that I've ever responded to a Prim ASMR video!! It's noon right now in Toronto. I'm in bed nursing myself back to health. I thank God for a beautiful and very talented ASMRtist like you! As the old saying goes, "Some may come, and some may go, but you have TRULY stood the test of time!" I have found that within the few years since I have discovered ASMR, you have remained the constant within my list of lists. ASMRtists have come and gone, but you are the sweetest constant in my life. I thank God for you in my time of needing peace and quiet, slowly but surely nursing myself during this unsure period, resolving my diabetic problems. May you get ALL that your pretty heart needs, wants and desires. I appreciate your sweet smile, your lovely soothing, silky smooth voice, the constant level of your voice's volume, and how in each and every video of yours you bring a new, refreshing, and exuberant youthfulness to them!! Thank you kindly for just being you. I think that you totALLy rock within the ASMR World, not to mention this world as well!! Have a great day and a productive work week, and may you have a wonderful life!!! ---> this is me 🤓👍

Epic

I’m old, my first system was Atari!

🐳My Gills, tail and scales are tingling & I love it!! 💚 Love you friend💚

That is WAY fancier than the 2600 I had as a kid. Looks like it was trying to mirror the 5800 in styling.

Yesssssss nap time ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

A Switch is something I really want, but I'm turned off by the lack of storage on it. So many games I want to play.
