Atari launches 7800+ console aimed at collectors with retro design and limited features

Atari has released the 7800+, a new version of its classic console, featuring a design inspired by the European model. It supports original 7800 cartridges and homebrew games, but lacks modern features, making it mainly appealing to Atari collectors. The 7800+ includes two controller ports and uses USB power and HDMI output. However, its awkward controllers and limited software library may not justify the $130 price for many gamers, even those nostalgic for the original system. The console runs on an open-source emulator, ensuring smooth performance with minimal lag. However, users may find the initial loading time for new cartridges frustrating.
