Atari Official 2600+ Console & Joystick - HDMI Output - Includes 10 Games

Com a última atualização: 2.0.1.6 o meu Atari 2600+ está rodando todos os jogos perfeitamente, além da qualidade e nitidez excelentes das imagens dos jogos na TV moderna, que na minha opinião é bem superior a qualquer outro emulador que testei. Tamanho compacto muito prático para uso recorrente e acondicionamento. No geral, gostei muito dessa nova versão do Atari, não me arrependi de ter adquirido. Um ponto negativo que observei foi o fato de não rodar cartucho everdrive, o que pode ser resolvido por cartuchos multijogos chaveados com combinações para cada jogo, tenho um de 512 jogos. Outro ponto negativo é não possuir uma fonte de alimentação, porém é possível usar carregador de celular USB-c, lembrando que o indicado é usar carregador de 5V com 1A. Por último, em relação ao envio, o produto foi enviado em uma caixa bem maior e sem áproteção interna, causando movimentação excessiva do produto e devido a isso alguns pequenos danos na caixa original dele.

Tal cual el producto ..la entrega muy rápida.. es un regalo para mi mamá en su cumpleaños

When I first saw that the Atari 2600 was being resurrected I went to the Atari website to check it out. Impressed with what I saw I knew I would be buying one. It said they would be sold in Canada through Amazon. I kept checking back. In the US these things are priced at $129 so I was expecting to pay more than $149 for it. When I ordered the 2600 at first it said delivery would be December 1st, then November 25th and then it arrived today. I am giving this 5 stars because of its early arrival, the quality of the product and the memories it brought back. I bought my first Atari 2600 back in 1980 or so with money saved up from my paper route. The original cost me a small fortune back then but it included two joysticks, two paddles and a couple of games. Comparatively speaking this thing is dirt cheap. I ordered up a second joystick to go a long with it and finding a usb compatible plug floating around the house was enough. Set up was a breeze of course. The plus looks very similar to the original, just smaller. The joysticks have the same tight feel of the ones from my youth. The games look great on modern screens, and the game play is still captivating. My 20 year old son saw me hooking it up and it didn't take him long to join me in a game of combat and one of missile command. He commented on the difference between these games compared to the ones he buys with their 3-D graphics and immersive story telling. I have already been on ebay to order up a couple more games and expect to buy the paddle bundle in a week or two. 5/5 stars.

The 2600+ plays Atari 2600 and 7800 game cartridges. If you already own some carts or want to collect them, this is a great way to play them on a modern TV with HDMI. The build quality of the 2600+ console and joystick is quite solid. And it looks just like an original 2600, albeit sized down a bit by 20%. So it's smaller than the original but not too small in my opinion. It currently plays 39 out of 40 of my carts and I understand there are a few other officially released carts not supported yet. Atari is currently working on a firmware update to address those games and it should be released shortly. Check out the Atariage 2600+ forum for the latest information. Several 7800 games require a 2-button joystick to play properly but the 2600 joystick only has 1 fire button. Atari will be releasing a new 7800 2-button gamepad to address this. I wish they had released this gamepad at launch. But if you have an original 7800 controller it will work with the 2600+. (As will any original 2600 controller for all 1-button games.) The box does not come with a power block, but any USB power block will work with it. I have a drawer full of those laying around so this was not an issue. The console can also be plugged directly into the USB port of your TV if it has one. Overall this is a very nice piece of hardware and with updates it will get even better. Highly recommended if you want an authentic looking and feeling Atari 2600 experience on a modern TV. 4.5 Stars overall. I will reevaluate after the new firmware is released and when they release a 7800 controller. Update: I see a few reviews mentioning that their cartridges would not load. Atari cartridges are multiple decades old at this point. The metal contacts on the carts need to be cleaned. Just clean them with isopropyl alcohol and a Q-tip. (See YouTube if you need a demo.) I had several carts that did not load initially, that work fine now once properly cleaned.

I ultimately decided to get a 2600+ mainly because of its HDMI connectivity, and to be sure 2600/7800 games have never looked better on a modern TV. The aesthetics of the console are also quite nice - it looks like a classic woodgrain 2600 in about 3/4 scale and the various switches have the same feel as a classic 2600. That said, there are a few disclaimers for prospective buyers. 1. If you have any homebrew titles, you effectively have to get the beta firmware upgrade from the AtariAge website (at least as of March 2024). The 2600+ is effectively a Stella emulator, and when you use a cartridge, the emulator looks for the corresponding ROM. Version 1.0 of the firmware simply couldn't play homebrews. Updating the firmware is not hard, but it takes some effort. 2. Additionally, the 1.0 firmware had its share of bugs, with some games not playing correctly, some difficulty switch settings were backwards, etc. 3. The console is a little too faithful to the original design - in particular, the controller jacks are on the back of the unit just like on the original 2600, but it would be more practical to have the jacks on the front. 4. The cord on the included joystick is quite short, much like the cords on original 2600 controllers. However, in the year 2024, you probably don't want to sit 3 feet from your 60 inch TV the way you did your 19" CRT back in the 80s. 5. There's no USB power brick in the box. Sure, everyone has one, but come on. Additionally, to do firmware updates, you need a USB-C cord which supports data transfer - a micro SD card slot would have been much appreciated. All in all, it's a fun system, and if you have a 2600/7800 library it's worth a purchase.
