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.

Rules:
1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy “anti-woke” energy, you probably shouldn’t be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
Forgot this happened.
I looked into it, but never ended up getting one because I didn’t have $400 to gamble on a kickstarter

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.
If I saw it for $200 I’d be tempted to pick one up but I feel the price point was too high.
Does this support sideloading? Actual cartridges? Is it 2600 games only?
From what I hear, there’s an online store, but the games are super cheap.
More than that, actually.
