Between the recent launch of the Atari 2600+ last year and several upcoming remakes for some of the brand's most iconic games, Atari is in a bit of a golden spot currently. The latest evidence for this is none other than the Atari 400 Mini, a shrunken-down version of one of gamings most niche home computer systems that launched in 1979, released with the intention to spotlight a slightly lesser-known time in Atari's 8-bit era.
And true, while the Atari 400 Mini forgoes the 2600+’s adoration for all things analogue in favour of a more traditional focus on emulation, it’s still a worthy entry into the retro mini console market space and in many ways is one of the best retro consoles release recently, despite technically being a retro computer.
