It really does look cool. 🙂 But two things have me worried…

One, it’s not an FPGA with “Atari hardware” inside (sorry, I don’t fully understand these things…) which makes it less like the Analogue Pocket / Game Boy cartridges and more like an emulator.

Two, Atari has released the similar “Atari Flashback” console in recent history promising advanced features that turned out to be overpriced, half baked, and barely functional.

I hope that’s not the case this time.

I preordered this. it’s just a 7800 emulation box but the fact it accepts original cartridges and is authentic to the 2600 is cool. I think the price is fair, They’re trying to make a profit and they will most likely reprint a large portion of the library to make more money, The idea of Atari re-releasing some rare 7800 games is pretty exciting and I hope they do it. Not a big fan of modern Atari but this is a good move and I hope they will give their computers the same treatment.
