About this deal

This retro Atari console is designed to be exactly like the classic one that dominated the ‘80s more than perms, shoulder pads, and synth music. But, this one is slimmer than the bottoms of a pair of tapered trousers. Yep, it’s been compacted and endowed with HDMI for super-easy connectivity. It’s also been blessed with internal memory that lets you save and resume games, and even rewind them when things get worse than your chocolate cake fiasco. Did you know Atari released a new console for the very first time in decades in 2021? Seems like most people missed the memo. The Atari VCS is a system that exists through a crowdfunding campaign from 2018. It's by no means a terrible console, but the general term used to describe it is "underwhelming". The model you get depends on where you live. US gamers can buy the angular North American Super Famicom version with purple accents and controller buttons. The Super NES version, with its more colourful, rounded design with red, blue, yellow, and green buttons is for UK users. Everything else is pretty much as you remember, and it's we found it heartwarming to see it in our living room again. The Atari VCS Vault contains a decent selection of Atari 2600 and 1980s arcade classics. Some of my favorite old Atari 2600 games are here, like Yars Revenge. Then there are some weird choices, like Basic Math. There are also a LOT of sports games. I don't even like playing sports games from 2 years ago, I definitely don't have any nostalgia for Bowling on Atari 2600. Out of over 80 Atari 2600 games included with the VCS, 17 are straight sports games. I didn't count all the racing games, of which there are plenty (but not Gran Prix, the one I wanted most). There are some classics on here, like Missile Command, Adventure, and a couple others, but overall it's a weak selection.

While not in the company’s plans as yet, the Atari CEO also showed enthusiasm for a hypothetical handheld system that can play its retro games on the go like a Nintendo Switch. The handheld unique TATE mode - turn it vertically and you can play games as some were intended in the arcades. This is great for shooters like Truxton and it's simple and easy to switch modes. In my Evercade EXP review I did find the slim design of the console made it a little cramped to use TATE mode. The Atari Gamestation Pro (DGUNL-7012) is the first console on the market to integrate the Atari 2600, 5200, 7800, Arcade and bonus titles into a single platform. Included are heart-pounding favorites like Adventure®, Missile Command®, Asteroids®, Centipede® and many more!The A500 Mini is a tiny replica of the Amiga 500, the home computer that launched many coders and developers careers. Arguably the likes of Team 17 wouldn't exist without this computer. The replica model is excellent, and in my A500 Mini review I found the general build and responsiveness of the console and its controllers – it supports both a gamepad and mouse – is excellent. For instance, the remastered “Haunted House” is an elaborate stealth game where players evade colorful ghosts and monsters – but it retains the exploration mechanics of its namesake that simply featured floating eyes roaming a dark, 2D maze. My Arcade® is an exciting line of miniature retro arcade devices, Plug ‘N Play consoles and portable gaming handhelds, which include officially licensed iconic titles from Atari®, Bandai Namco, Capcom®, Data East®, Konami®, Taito®, and Jaleco®. My Arcade® brings classics like Pac-Man®, Galaga®, Tetris®, Space Invaders®, Street Fighter® II, Mega Man®, and many others to the palm of your hand.

My Arcade® Releases the Atari® Gamestation Pro with 200+ Games

Yes. In recent years retro games have soared in value, partly because the age of gamers is increasing and nostalgia is a great influence, but also because the status of games and game design has increased. Some old games are seen as works of art, and as such are highly sought after. Retro games have a number of built in values too, including scarcity and the fact they can only be played on old hardware. Are emulators legal? The response to the unveiling of the Atari® Gamestation Pro has been extremely positive,” said Ethan Zoubek, President at Atari. “Fans love the design, the games, and the unique combination of simplicity and modern features.” The Lynx is without a doubt Atari's most underrated game system, and one of the most underrated handheld consoles next to the likes of the PS Vita. It is the first handheld console ever to be mass-produced with a full-color screen, nearly a full ten years before the release of the more widely-known and successful Gameboy Color. On top of that, it had a good library of games, an interesting design — despite maybe being a little too big to be considered a true "handheld"—, and it was extremely durable.

Digital Eclipse is the best in the world at what they do,” said Atari CEO Wade Rosen. “They have a deep love and respect for the history of the games industry, and are renowned for developing critically acclaimed projects based on historic franchises. Atari has entered into an agreement to acquire Digital Eclipse, with the deal expected to be completed in the coming days. The Sega Mega Drive Mini 2 or Sega Genesis Mini 2 (for US) is an excellent follow-up to the previous small retro console, the Sega Mega Drive Mini. This edition features 60 games, including bonus titles that have never been released before. The eye-catching titles, however, are the mix of Sega Mega CD games that feature in the Sega Mega Drive Mini 2's roster.
