Today’s Atari company is not the same Atari from the 70s. They just own the brand which has passed hands over and over and over. But I must say it’s pretty cool that they are making a game cartridge for the 2600.
Three game cartridges to be released this year (2021!) for the Atari 2600. Yes, I find this to be really cool. I’m a sucker for these retro things.
Interestingly these are games that were developed back in the 80s but never releases. Where is the modern SDK for the Atari 2600?
It will probably be crap, but the industrial design alone makes this desirable.
If the real thing ends up looking anything like those renders, that is.
I can think of worst ways to spend $1000.
When I was a little kid, I had this game. I couldn't make sense of it but I always thought it was because I was too little. Then I heard the rumors about the cartridges being buried and thought it was all fake. Turns lit it wasn't. My childhood has come full circle.
An Atari emulator that not only emulates the hardware, but it actually displays the graphics so that they look as if they were coming out of an old school CRT TV. Cool!
The classic Atari 2600 dragon-slaying game is back for the iPhone!
