Forgot this happened.

I looked into it, but never ended up getting one because I didn't have $400 to gamble on a kickstarter

There are better and cheaper options this year so you didn't miss anything. There's the Atari Game Station Pro that emulates many old systems including Atari for $75 and the Atari 2600+ for $130 that directly replicates the 2600 but with HDMI.

Oh, Atari is still manufacturing the VCS.

I managed to buy one on sale last year.

The games are cheap and play fine.

Older Atari systems would be good too.

IIRC, it was supposed to function as a standard computer too. How does it perform in that respect?

I know the specs probably aren't amazing considering it's been a few years but I'm still curious.
