I used to have an old 400 with the tape drive... The tapes never did manage to load properly, but that never really dampened my then-5yr-old enthusiasm for video games... Eventually, the joysticks got to where you couldn't move down in a game, but that didn't stop me, either ("Why would you wanna climb down ladders in Donkey Kong?"). God, I miss that machine...
Anyhow, I managed to pick up a 2600 with 8 games a couple of weeks ago for $10, so I guess a few games of Death Star Assault would be in order for a proper observance, I guess...
