Atari hits and misses
We’ve seen corporations like Atari generally lending their esteemed manufacturers to lower than stellar merchandise, so it’s refreshing to see some high-end merchandise bearing the marque. There have been some hits and misses from Atari not too long ago, although. I loved testing the Atari Gamestation Go (from MyArcade) with 200+ games and SD card expandability last year. In contrast, the 2021 Atari VCS reboot was slated for its price, convoluted setup, and noise.
