    I've been gaming since the days of Pong and still own a working Atari 2600 (among other elder statesmen systems!). I tend to ramble on about retro games, whether they be board games, video games or PC games. Sometimes I digress. Decades after earning it, I'm finally putting the skills I learned while completing my history degree from the University of Victoria to good use. Or so I think. If you're into classic old school gaming, this blog is for you!

Would you buy a NEW Atari 2600?

Posted on November 18, 2023 by magisterrex

We are definitely living in an interesting timeline, as we are now able to purchase a NEW Atari 2600 game console. It comes with a 10-in-1 game cartridge, and is incredibly backwards compatible with most Atari 2600 AND Atari 7800 games. (Full list HERE) It even has DB9 ports to allow for using original joysticks and other controllers, but you can buy new ones if you want!

It’s available to order in several countries:

Australia – EB Games
