Atari 2600+ Cartridge Console

The cartridge goes in the top. The picture comes out over HDMI.

The woodgrain front feels familiar, but the slot on top is the interesting part. The 2600+ accepts compatible Atari cartridges, so switching games can still mean pulling a plastic cartridge off the shelf. The included stick keeps the controls down to a direction and one red button.

WHY IT CAUGHT OUR EYE

It gives an old physical library a modern display connection while preserving the ritual of choosing and inserting a cartridge.

BEFORE YOU BUY

Check Atari’s compatibility list for any particular 2600 or 7800 cartridge. This bundle has the wired joystick and the ten-game cartridge pictured.

Original woodgrain 2600+ with one wired CX40+ joystick and the 10-in-1 cartridge. The Pac-Man and later variants have different bundles.
