Atari Announces an Official Portable 2600 System

Posted by timothy on from the just-happy-to-see-you dept.

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!"

    Oh. Right. I don't worship at the altar of hideously outdated gaming systems which nobody in their right mind would buy at any price, and so I'm a troll?
