Hope you still have those game cartridges

With new games for $30 a piece.

Man, this was my first console as a kid and I remember digging it because it was compatible with 2600 games. Of which, I inherited a big box from my older cousins. But yeah, 7800 games at $30 is a tough sell.

Whatever happened to the last "new" Atari that was coming out?

Atari is one of the most abused brand names of the past few decades. I’m reasonably sure I bought a 2600 emulator about 10 years or so ago from a toy store.

Yeah, but like just a few years ago they crowd funded a console. I remember it caused a huge commotion. I don't recall why.. I don't follow Atari very closely.

This is nice that they're making new hardware to run old games.. I'm not sure if Atari 2600s/2800s are hard to come by or not, but keeping these old games playable is by all means a great thing.

I don’t think that’s it’s hard to find the old game consoles, price notwithstanding, but getting them to work with modern televisions is probably the bigger issue.

That's a really good point I hadn't thought of.

I haven't had my Atari 2600 for decades now, but I'm not sure I could get it to work with my modern television.
