This is the most fun I've ever had watching someone play with LEGO. Also, I love that you got it working! Also also- tableau.

Something you never want to hear in a hospital..."Scalpel" "Would you accept scissors?" "Sure!"

I love the enthusiasm and pure joy in these videos! Perfect watching when feeling a bit down, and when not! 😊

I loved building anything LEGO when I was a kid. This LEGO Atari 2600 looks awesome! They really paid attention to the details. My only complaint is they went with the 4 switch model and not the original heavy sixer 6 switch. It was great that you made it work. Nicely done!

You ladies find the best stuff!! Excellent building!!! 🤩

Like you, I had no idea that this existed - but even without a functional mini-Atari 2600 added to it, it still looks great! (Love the diorama flipping up the "scene from the seventies").

I did not know it opened up like that. Very cool!

I'm at work yelling at the screen, "YOU HAVE TO GRAB THE BAT!"

Woah! It took a moment to absorb what it was, I thought it was a 2600+ This is way better! I like how Lego always stuff in a whole stack of oddball coloured parts as filler inside their sets.

You two are such fun to watch doing your projects, you have so much fun together. I know I shouldn't say it, but as much as I love nostalgic tech and games etc, I spent more time looking at Amy's eyes and her lovely smile than on the LEGO itself. Amy keeps staring in to the camera and smiling. Must remember to block off the left side of the screen in future and concentrate harder. 😂

Person: "Atari 2600, mehh, it is soooo old and the graphich look like Lego bricks." LEGO: "Hold my minifigure's tiny little beer!"

I was literally looking at this kit in the store yesterday, and also the pac-man arcade standup kit. It sounds like you had some fun building it, and the working version with the flashback is awesome!

The Taylor and Amy Show, the cure to seasonal affective disorder!

Are you sure you consider the person that told you about the Lego Atari 2600 'a friend'? lol! Over 2000 pieces. Wow! Great video, BTW!

This is so fun... oh and that shark shirt goes swimmingly well with your eyes. ;)

"not a load-bearing Atari 8-bit girl" :D

Hello from Australia to the Nerd Queens!... I vote the Lego NES next!

Whilst entirely coincidental, Taylor tilted the lego cartridge in her hand slightly toward Amy when she casually said "that's an ancient one". Amy certainly isn't ancient... I'd use the term vintage! 😉 Great video guys, the inclusion of the "Flashback" was brilliant.

My wife told me she got that Lego Atari thing for her birthday. It is always a surprise when I get to find out what I got her for her birthday. :) She hasn't put it together yet and hopefully your video will encourage her to do so. She asked me to send her the link to this video. Done. On an unrelated topic, you guys should setup your MiSTer FPGA from scratch so you can find out how to install the MiSTer Project software to the microSD card, and how to add ROM files... and how to keep it updated. In your previous MiSTer video, ya'll said the MiSTer could fill your void for arcade games but... one reason to try it now would be for the mighty fine Nintendo 64 core that is in development... which has made a lot of progress. It plays about 99% of the US retail library with a significant amount of the games being fully completable. The prolific developer behind the MiSTer FPGA N64 core has been posting updates about every other day. He is to the point now where about the only thing left to do is fix some of the remaining minor bugs in some of the more obscure game titles... at least that's how it looks from my user perspective. He (Robert Peip aka FPGAzumSpass) made the Playstation One core previously and his work is just impeccable. I've been a subscriber to his Patreon for well over a year. Anyhoo, I don't know if you had or played a N64 in your youths or not, where you might have nostalgia for some of its games.... but if not, Super Mario 64 is a pretty big game in the history of 3D platformers... and Legend of Zelda, The Ocarina of Time is often in the top 3 of best video games of all time. I know ya'll are more into hardware but you could treat the MiSTer as a hardware platform to figure out and have as a goal getting the N64 core up and running. It is really quite easy once you know how. :) In any event, keep on keepin' on.

Well, now I know where to go to find superior building brick-based retrogaming entertainments.

Excellent as ever! You almost make me want to build a lego PDP-11 with working open-reel magnetic tape drives. Perhaps not.

Your videos are so much fun to watch!

Very nice. :) Game 17 is my favorite in Asteroids. It has "slow" asteroids, so they don't go at odd angles, and the special feature when you pull back is to flip your ship 180 degrees. Admittedly, it's much easier with the slow asteroids, but I can play that variation all day long. I just keep racking up extra lives.

❤❤ Super Cute!! ❤❤ Who doesn’t love Legos!!! I have to ask; who was the “Keeper of Legos,” because there’s no way Taylor didn’t lose at least 10 important pieces?? Cool video. Amy’s eye makeup is on point, per the usual. ❤❤❤❤❤

Oh boy... I want to build one of those now! Had the NES lego build on my Amazon wish list for a couple years, but I like this one much better!

Yay 🎉 that Lego Atari looks great.

Very happy new year to you and lots of vintage computing 🤗

If I want to feel old I just acknowledge the pain in my knees. uggg

That looked fun! Nice work!

A Lego model of a video game is much more fun than a video game of a Lego model.

if you push forward on the joystick in Asteroids you move!

Great job :D And just kind remainder 4096 is long gone ;-)

A Raspberry Pi Zero fits inside the cartridges with a little modification to the Lego build and can emulate the rest of the machine.

Very cool! That was so fun.

Awesome video! 😃

Some assembly required!

Flip up the little scene of the rooms hard enough and it will fire them like projectiles. Hopefully!

it doesn't work, but I did watch a video on tronix fix where he made the lego NES and then made a second one that actually did work. A real NES, not an FPGA. I think it was just a lego shell around a normal NES inside guts.

That's a cute kit, I like it :)

Great job, I am sure it was not easy to build...

That’s Really neat girls nice job

I'm 66 years old and my wife won't let me have this because ... choking hazard.

Did I miss the 12 bit party?

DO WANT

one is metric and other is Imperial... ROFL

Drinking game: "tableau" 🤣 Tableau's aside, why did Lego feel this was necessary to make? Was somebody going to put this in their house and be like, "Come people! See this non-functioning Lego Atari 2600 console i have built!" ?

"But we should make it work!" "Uh YEAH!" LOVE that reaction! Cuz OF COURSE you should! :D

That little diarama room dealie has a pet, too!
