I wonder if Doom has been ported to it?

 

4960, playing on a modded PS1 Classic. 
This game is cute, but it will take some time to get used to the rhythm of the game. 
 

Good question!  I think they did the same thing with Berzerk and Mr. Run and Jump when those were on pre-order.  They did ship with boxes.  It may be worth a question on the Atari Discord.  I'll get back to you.
 

I am trying to decide whether to play on Atari 50 on VCS or load the ATR file on real hardware.  There's only one right answer for me....BOTH!  I'll let you know which one I like better.  🙂 

Also going to see if Pengo is already loaded on my modded PS1 Classic. 
Scores will be posted soon....
 

I appreciate that they’re standardizing the CX78 Control Pad. It always should’ve been that way. 

Re-releasing some old games that include a cart and box for $30.  Good deal if you ask me.  Pre-order now for shipment in May 2024

Let's get the word out about this Recharged Squad Challenge!
The more people participating the more fun the challenge!
Spread the word and invite friends to play!

First attempt after a few practice runs to get used to the game: 2817. Game is hard. Wow, those graphics are...not great. 🙂 I will submit a better score and screenshot soon.

Boxes are included, as with the Plaion re-release of Berzerk and release of Mr. Run & Jump. They are also including instructions this time! Here's a sample from "Ben at Plaion."

Message
Welcome to our 26th Club VCS Recharged Squad Challenge!!! For this challenge, we're celebrating the release of the ATARI 400 MINI by playing the Atari 8-bit game YOOMP!   Play on the VCS via Atari 50, on real Atari 8-bit hardware, on the 400 MINI, or using your A8 emulator of choice!
Yoomp! is the winner of the 2007 ABBUC software competition. Like a combination of Trailblazer and an often-seen demoscene effect, you fall down a tube, landing on each square progressively in a rhythmic manner. Landing on certain tiles will have certain effects, such as making the screen quake, decreasing the brightness or forcing you to jump. Navigating the tube itself is a matter of planning ahead and compensating for your limited movement capabilities. This game is freeware and can be downloaded on the Yoomp website.
Start at LEVEL ONE and take the game as far as you can for the high score!

User Cheung has created a really good port of Atlantis for the TI and the ROM is available for download (for free!)

Here is a video:
Super impressive and I'm going to give this a try on mine.  Should work in emulation too.
 

I wonder if Doom has been ported to it?

 

What's the reason for naming this "The 400" as opposed to "Atari 400" or "Atari 400 Mini"?

I've read the book "Commodore: The Inside Story" -- it is excellent.  I look forward to watching this video.  Thanks!

Oldie but goodie

 

I was only able to open it to take pictures as I had to get ready for a flight to Puerto Rico.  It LOOKS really good, though.
