Remarkableriots Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Atari launches replica 2600 console to go with all its replica 2600 cartridges – Ars Technica ARSTECHNICA.COM Quote If you read about Atari issuing a new cartridge of a new Atari 2600 game and your first thought was, "What am I supposed to play this on?" there's an answer for you. Today, the company announced the Atari 2600+, a $130 retro console with a cartridge slot that can accept vintage and modern Atari 2600 and 7800 cartridges, plus a $25 CX40+ joystick and $40 CX30+ paddle controller bundle that appear to more-or-less faithfully re-create the originals. I never had one, but when I was a kid, my dad's friend had an Atari. I remember playing it when we would hang out at his house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EternallDarkness Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 takes me back to the start of the console wars. My friend had the 2600 and then I got the intellivision. Good times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X-pert74 Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Seems like a cute idea. I don't expect to get much use out of this, but hopefully it delivers on being a modern HDMI-equipped system that can play original cartridges well. I'm most interested in seeing how that new CX30 paddle controller turns out 🤔 My remaining 2600 paddle controllers are kinda fucked up and falling apart, lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
