    So it was "launch day" for the Atari VCS and you can now order the PC-console hybrid online from Atari or Best Buy, or if you live near a Micro Center, pick one up locally. 

    Despite what I said in the immediately preceding post, I succumbed to an intoxicating blend of morbid curiosity, nostalgia and FOMO; I picked one up back in late February from the eBay.

    Three months in, I can say that I'm very impressed with the build and the content so far.  More importantly, this has a lot of flexibility. Sure, it's a relatively and low powered mini-PC, but the combination of content from the Atari store, upgradeability (mine is now 1tb with 32gb ram) and ability to run virtually any OS makes it a winner in my book.

    Even if Atari stopped supporting it tomorrow, it would be the sexiest emulation box out there. But the thing is, the stuff Atari is coming up with is actually pretty great. Plus the rotary on the joystick is amazing. It's easily my most played system. 

    Best game: Three-way Tie

    Jetboard Joust

    Thrustlander (rotary control is a dream)

    Danger Scavenger

    Best App: 

    Antstream Arcade

    Very cool to hear an open minded, honest opinion. 

    I am making a discord for my channel. Can I share it there? (Or you can too if you want to join. I'm still working on it, so I haven't revealed it on my channel yet https://discord.com/invite/KDR3w6Z5 )
