Gen X Grown Up's Jon gives the thumbs up to My Arcade's Atari Gamestation Pro

We've been buried in Atari 2600 game players over the last ten years, including those by AtGames and Atari itself, but My Arcade's Atari Gamestation Pro seems to be the most promising entry yet into this glutted retro market. It's got a versatile joystick (analog and digital controls built into one Atari controller? Viva la Coleco Gemini!), an SD card slot for extra game saves (and extra games, if you're sneaky!), and a slick upscale design that gives the GameStation the look of cutting edge tech from 1986. That whole marriage of chromed metal to black plastic just works for me, man.

At thirty dollars less than the Atari 2600+, it sounds like the Gamestation Pro will be the Atari plug and play console to watch this Christmas. Heck, I want one just for that stylish joystick with the dial on it.
