Atari, which in the 1980s was one of the largest manufacturers of games and gaming devices, does not give up trying to enter the market of retro consoles.

Here's What We Know

Atari 7800+ retro console with support for original cartridges has been announced. This is a re-release of the original Atari 7800, which was released in 1986, and the manufacturer even kept the design.

The main innovation is that the Atari 7800+ has seamless connection to modern screens via HDMI cable - no more adapters required.

If you still have Atari 2600 and Atari 7800 cartridges, they will be compatible with the new device.

The console comes with a CX78+ wireless controller, which costs $35 separately, and you can additionally buy a CX40+ joystick for the same amount.

The box with the Atari 7800+ will come with Bentley Bear's Crystal Quest game.

Sales of the Atari 7800+ will start in the winter of 2024. Buyers can already pre-order it for $130.
