The Atari VCS retro console gets its long-awaited retail release - The Verge
Jun 16, 2021 34 secs

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 via its own site while Best Buy and Micro Center also have their listings.

The device that’s been released technically does what Atari promised, but reviews have been pretty middling.

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.
