Game Under Podcast Ep. 150

One hundred and fifty episodes. They said we’d never make it, but we finally broke through. Actually, I’m not sure what they said, if they said anything at all, but eleven years into this podcast Tom and I have put out 150 episodes. To mark the occasion we’ve put together a memorable news section, and then spend examining Roblox, and come to some surprising conclusions.

Oh, and the spider monkeys will make sense when you listen to the show.

Thanks for listening,

Atari 2600+ Announced

Atari (actually Atari, not a licensee) is releasing a mini-console that will play Atari 2600 and Atari 7800 cartridges

At 80% the size of the original Atari 2600, it outputs via HDMI, comes with a controller and a 10-game cartridge and a logo that glows when you turn it on. All for the $130 USD, which in my view is a tad over priced by $80 USD.

No doubt it runs on a Raspberry Pi and has a USB power source, which means it will be cracked, making it quite a collectable. Unless the new Atari CEO has vision of re-releasing cartridges, it’s hard to see how this will be a strong money maker for them.

Here is my review of the Retron 77 which is still available for about $80 USD, which makes the $130 USD price, with the inclusion of Atari 7800 compatibility a slight bit more palatable.
