while our parents were visiting recently we got out the atari 2600 and played a couple games with our dad (it was his atari when he was a kid and he thoroughly beat us at all of them despite not having played in probably over thirty years), and it has me kinda wanting to try streaming some atari games but: how the *fuck* do you video capture the output when it's RF only? this was well before any TV had any input other than twin-lead RF for an antenna

also we discovered that our dad's atari is apparently a really rare model, one of the "heavy sixers" (the physically heavier of two models that had six switches on the front; this is the first model that was made) with a label that says "made in taiwan" (they were only made in taiwan for a few months, and not in large volume as they were switching over to the light sixer design that was made in hong kong) to the point that there are people on collectors' forums saying they don't exist
