@arstechnica Honestly the neatest thing is probably that the cartridges they made for it work on the original as well. It's neat, but 2600 games don't hold up nearly as well as stuff from just a generation or so later, so this feels hopelessly over-engineered. (Hell, the Atari Flashback 2 was a 2600-on-a-chip sold for rather less)

@arstechnica I thought this had a rather large slew of the most popular cards burned into interior rom.

@arstechnica This brings back so much memories.
My first computer was an Atari 800 (not the more popular XL).

I spend a lot of money on this thing. But it became the starting point of a career.
