Still pretty bad for the price though. The Ryzen 2200U APU in there is three years old. For a similar price you can get an Asus PN50 with last year's 4300U which is much faster. You're still really only paying for preloaded Atari games and the nice case.

The Atari games available on this are also available on Steam, in a package called Atari Vault, so there is literally no reason to buy this. Even if you don't have a computer, buy a better computer.

The slew of mini-consoles we've seen in the past few years have all been executed astonishingly badly. I struggle to realise why anyone cares at this point. Even if you think, 'oh, [game company], I remember them', they always come at a premium for a product with no care put into it.

I love how it looks, zero interest in getting one though.

Nintendo ones were decent. SEGA MD was done by M2, so immense care was put in.

I'm glad this finally came out.  I was following the progress of it via /r/shittykickstarters and looked like it was doomed for the longest time there.  There was an awesome moment last year as well when /r/AtariVCS went full feral and they ended up starting /r/AtariVCSOfficial.
