RE: Atari 2600 Fanatics out there?
You bet! I've got a 6-switch (light) woodgrain model hooked up to a ~30 inch CRT TV in one of our two living rooms at this very moment (along with an NES and PS2).

I've got around 400 carts or so (kept downstairs in the game room), but I've also got the Harmony cart, and it's absolutely fantastic. It'll run every retail game, including the Supercharger tapes, but the real draw is being able to run all the homebrews, ROM hacks, and prototypes that are out there. There are some pretty astonishing homebrews that make use of the ARM coprocessor on the cart. I think Space Rocks - a really good Asteroids clone - makes use of it for nearly all the game logic.

There's a really good homebrew Pac-Man in the works that uses the same ghost AI logic from the arcade game. The latest version is available in this post:
