FOUND: Atari 2600 review retro analogue design makes an almost excellent comeback - What They Never Told You

Atari 2600+ review; a retro games console made from wood and plastic.

At just 80% the size of the original unit, you could be fooled into thinking the new Atari 2600+ was yet another one of those mini game consoles. You know the sort, the one that proved very popular five or six years ago when companies like PlayStation and Nintendo shrunk down their famous systems, packed in 10 or so games, and called it a day. (In fact, read our best retro game consoles guide for more.)

In actual fact, Atari's take on the idea is gloriously analogue by comparison. Not just because it's a console capable of playing original 2600 – and, as a nice bonus, 7800 – game cartridges, but also as it's impeccably authentic from a design perspective.
