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.
