    And the fate of video games, themselves, was sealed. For the beast had risen once again, and would stop at nothing to ensure the crash, this time, would be permanent.

    Watch it being built exclusively out of plastic.

    I still have a bunch of my old Atari 2600 games (yes, including E.T.) The fact that this is compatible with my old carts might entice me to buy it.

    This seems like it’s best for people for still have a ton of Atari 2600 games or are willing to buy them. BecauseTV resolutions weren’t standardized yet, playing original cartridges on unmodified original hardware on an HDTV can result in games flickering out due to needing to change the resolution to avoid lag or even games not displaying at all

    At $130, I am not willing to take that gamble after their slew of other mediocre systems. Modern Atari has not, and most likely will not go the extra mile. They will just push it out the door, and move on to the next one.

      I dont get it tho. The hardware is 40 years old. They could drop a raspberry pi in a banana peel and the processing power would be orders greater.
