Dave in VA's JournalAtari is BACK!
Gaming like it’s 1977 again!
From Atari Interactive, Inc. comes the Atari 2600+, the highly anticipated refresh of the Atari Video Computer System (VCS), Atari’s legendary console that was first released in September 1977. Launching on Nov. 17 and retailing for $130 at Atari, the Atari 2600+ ships with the console, a standard controller and a 10-in-1 games cartridge. The cartridge includes the following games: Adventure, Combat, Dodge ’Em, Haunted House, Maze Craze, Missile Command, Realsports Volleyball, Surround, Video Pinball and Yars’ Revenge.
The timing of the Atari 2600+ couldn’t be better. Retrogaming — that is, playing video games from the 20th century — is alive and well in the here and now. Retrogamers enjoy the nostalgia, the simplicity of the gameplay and, in some cases, the pulse-pounding challenge. Sure, these games may be older, but at times, they required the brains of a Cray supercomputer combined with the reflexes of a tween hopped up on Pop Rocks. (We’re looking at you, Gravitar, with some serious side-eye.)
