Atari VCS Retro Console Finally Gets Released

Die-hard Atari fans rejoice … you’ll be able to own your very own Atari VCS retro console real soon.

Taken fromThe Verge… The Atari VCS — a part-desktop PC, part-retro console modeled after the Atari 2600 — is finally available to buy at retail. Atari is selling the console viaits own site尽管百思买微中心also have their listings. This isn’t the first time the console has been available to the public (vgc.notesthat Indiegogo backers recently received their consoles) but it’s the first time the machine has been available to buy at retail.

VCS已经很长时间了。最初在2017年戏弄为“Ataribox,” the project re-emerged the following yearas the Atari VCS,Atari运行Indiegogo运动来资助其发展in June 2018。Originally, the console had been due to ship in mid-2019 but reportedly ran into aseries of development difficulties,最终在项目的主旨建筑师戒烟中。

在技​​术上发布的设备是atari承诺的,但评论一直很漂亮。vgc.says the console’s built-in selection of 100 Atari games (18 from the arcade and 82 from the Atari 2600 console) might be emulated perfectly, but many are “so incredibly basic that they really don’t hold up to the mildest scrutiny in 2021.” There’s also an app store where you can buy modern games, but pickings are slim and lacking in exclusives.

If you do decide to go down the desktop PC route, the Atari VCS is powered by an AMD Ryzen R1606G system-on-a-chip, paired with 8GB of RAM and 32GB of storage (both upgradeable). There are two USB 3.1 ports on the front and two on the rear along with Ethernet and HDMI 2.0 ports. In other words, don’t expect this machine to rival an Xbox Series S despite its similar $299.99 starting price.

Suffice it to say that you probably shouldn’t be rushing out to drop upwards of $299.99 on the Atari VCS (or $399.99 for the Walnut version, which comes with an included wireless joystick and controller, which retail separately for $59.99 each).
