minus-square@JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink9•edit-21 year agoForgot this happened. I looked into it, but never ended up getting one because I didn’t have $400 to gamble on a kickstarter
minus-square@Blue_Morpho@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink5•edit-21 year agoThere 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.

minus-square@JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink3•1 year agoIIRC, 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.
