أ revived Atari 800XL hybrid gaming console decades after its original sunset in the early 1990s. This updated model connects via HDMI and features a modern industrial design while retaining the larger form factor of its 1979 predecessor. The console includes 25 pre-loaded classics such as Centipede, Crystal Castles, Millipede, and Missile Command.
As an 8-bit machine, its graphical capabilities are comparable to the original Nintendo Entertainment System. A cartridge slot accommodates titles from the system's library, while USB connectivity allows loading games from other Atari consoles like the 400 and 5200. The package includes a period-accurate joystick capable of USB charging.
Beyond gaming, the hybrid system functions as a full computer with a mechanical keyboard and access to the Atari Basic coding platform, enabling users to create original games or revisit 1980s homebrew content. The hardware was designed by Plaion Replay, the team behind the Commodore 64 remake. Priced at $220, preorders are currently open with shipments scheduled for April 23, 2027.
