The picture I get from it is extremely staticy and unplayable. I think it is because I am using an NES RF adapter but I'm not sure. What do you guys think?

What's up with islands? Get more land.
What's up with deserts? Get less sand.
I've tried NES and Genesis RF adapters on ataris and intellevisions and they have come out fuzzy before too. I'm not sure if that is the reason for it or not but it has happened to me too.
I believe the NES RF switch expects a certain DC bias on the console input to trigger the switch. The Atari (and most other old consoles) don't provide this voltage, so you get the half-baked signal that you're seeing. Use a manual switch box, or better yet, a plain RCA-to-F-Connector adapter.
Do NOT use an NES or Genesis RF, they are automatic switches, which require a voltage higher than Atari can give it, resulting in a half-working signal. Use a manual RF switch, or converter which goes straight into the back of the TV.
Thanks guys, I'm glad to hear its not the system thats the problem.
also here is a picture of my current Atari 2600 collection

very nice collection so far, keep going.....
Did I get any rare games?
I know the copy of Dare Diver I got is ranked a 4 on Digital Press, and ranked 5 on Atariage for being rare, and I got the Sears versions of Pac-Man and Defender which are slightly more rare than their normal counterparts.
