I actually do like that.. As long as it doesn't just play old Atari games. That said if its nice and cheap you could rip the guts out and swap for a Rpi or a Mitx pc :D

is this going to be made by Atari or is it going to be another product by AT Games - IIRC they didn't exactly have Stella reviews of their previous creations though are supposed to be promising a new version of their mini megadrive/genesis that won't have sound issues etc.. so perhaps even if it is them behind this new Atari it might still be good

i need to know which atari's it will actually emulate before i get excited. ST? Lynx?, Jaguar? If it is purely 35/40 year old games then i doubt i'll bother.
no details on which systems or games it will emulate but that's not all its going to do apparently its going to play 3rd party games and new releases but once they announce the specs and bit more info we will know a lot more.:)

Will there be a slot to take the box load of cartridges I still have in the attic? :D Because I don't think my heavy sixer works anymore. :(

You know what would make my day, if they just released the classic games as they were but just update the graphics and maybe just a slight tweak here and there to freshen things up. I'd give my right-nut to play online Space Invaders, Defender, Phoenix, Asteroids, Galaxian, Centipede, Vanguard, Battlezone, Berzerk, Pac-Man et al.
