This remastered Atari 2600 Plus console has been slashed by 40 per cent in a limited time deal on Amazon.

The original Atari 2600 was first released in 1977 and was popular for its arcade games such as Pac-Man, Space Invaders and Donkey Kong, which could all be played at home on one system.

This console also easily connects to a modern TV and includes a 10-in-1 game cartridge that has some classic Atari games - including PinBall, Maze Craze and Combat. "The machine itself is 80 percent the size of the original device and comes as the four switched version. The build seems pretty good and the switches seem high quality. There is a HDMI port for connection to TV . Power is provided via a USB C port, and a cable is provided in the box too, though note that you need to provide your own USB power adapter.

"What is most impressive for both the engineers who designed and manufactured this replica in 2023, and the software engineers and manufacturing back in the day, is that cartridges from 1982 actually work, the first I tried was Asteroids in perfect condition, practically unopened. The second River Raid, and this is where I would suggest you buy some rubbing alcohol or other suitable cleaner if you intend to buy or have original cartridges.

"Oh, the wonders of modern technology, what's not to love? I must admit, I was skeptical at first. How could something so small handle the messes of daily life, especially with a dog that sheds enough to knit a jumper every week? Don't let the size fool you. In my opinion, the SwitchBot K10+ has been a game-changer.

"OF COURSE modern consoles and games will be better, BUT if you bought an ATARI is because you want to feel exactly the same sensation from 80's, even when the cartages won't work and you have to clean it!!!! It's part of the nostalgic feeling.
