Atari Announces an Official Portable 2600 System

Bill Kendrick writes: "Infogrames (the folks who now own Atari) have just struck a deal with another company to produce a 10-in-1 video game system based on the Atari 2600. It'll be joystick-shaped, plug into a TV set, cost only $20, and include games like Combat, Asteroids, Missile Command, and my favorite, Adventure! It won't replace my Atari 2600 Jr and 60 cartridges, but it's a step in the right direction!"

    Agreed. Now if only Nintendo would release an NES controller with the original Donkey Kong and other Game and Watch remakes built in.

    Or, a similar system to this Atari deal, but with Commodore 64 titles built in. Oh to play Raid Over Moscow or the original ChopLifter 2 (I know, I can get an emulator to do it all, but it's just not the same... it feels hollow)

    Looks can be deceiving. Or CAN they?
