Looks and feels like the original Atari 2600
Aside from being a little bit smaller, the 2600+ gaming console, and the joystick controller that comes with it, pretty much looks and feels like the original Atari 2600 gaming console. It's easy to connect to a modern-day TV or monitor via HDMI connection and the picture and colors of the games is crisp and clear. The 2600+ can play most original Atari 2600 and 7800 game cartridges (see compatibility list on Atari's site). It also comes with a 10-in-1 games cartridge with a nice selection of games to help get started with (my fav of the games on the 10-in-1 cartridge being Missile Command).Notes: To power the 2600+ you'll need to use your own USB power-adapter, such as what one might use for a phone-charger, or could also plug-into a USB port that most modern-day TVs have. As the 2600+ only comes with one game-controller (the classic looking Atari 2600 joystick), you may want to consider getting another game-controller (and as some games are for 2 Players). The old original Atari 2600 joysticks and paddles are compatible to use. Or I could also recommend getting a Hyperkin Ranger gamepad, which the thumbstick and pad feels great playing with (and less strain on the hands compared to using the classic-styled 2600 Joystick), and it also has a paddle built-in for paddle games (though I find the paddle on the Ranger a bit stiff, so I'll be getting the new Atari Paddle Pack). Playing the old classic Atari games is a big hit of nostalgia for me. I've been wanting to more get into retro-gaming, and the Atari 2600+ console being a physical console which plays the original 2600 and 7800 game cartridges, for me it gives me the feeling of an authentic retro-gaming experience and overall I'm loving the Atari 2600+ gaming console.

The first Atari did not work so I had to return it. Amazon returned it without any issues. and sent a new one right away. It arrived really fast. Very beautifully packed. The Atari works right out of the box. No issues whatsoever. I bought Vanguard used game which also works without any issues. This is a nice gift for me. Brings back memories of a happier time. Simple, enjoyable and stress free.

No issues with graphics of hook up. I had to use my apple wall adapter to attach the USB power source for the Atari. besides that everything works fine. Graphics, games and sound. Exactly as I remember.

thanks.

This is probably the best fun I've had in a while, something about going back to simpler times just feels great. The system has a great heft, and the LED light is beautiful to see for the simple logo. Downside is it engaged a new obsession of collecting Atari cartridges but hey! That's my problem. You won't regret this purchase.

I know the original 2600 was occasionally prone to black bar artifacts, but my 2600+ very often (almost always) has black bar artifacts on the left of the screen on a standard HD TV. For comparison a retro pi doesn't.

But it physically looks and feels great, plays cartridges makes me feel like I'm 10 again, so... it's 4 stars for me.

I've been collecting retro gaming items for a couple of decades. When I was a kid in the late 70s-early 80s, Atari was king of both the arcades and home consoles. I have an old 2600 but the fuzzy picture is getting harder and harder to connect to modern TVs.
This new machine connects easily to my HDMI large screen. I have spent some time playing a few old games on it and it works great.
Very nice!

When I first saw that the Atari 2600 was being resurrected I went to the Atari website to check it out. Impressed with what I saw I knew I would be buying one. It said they would be sold in Canada through Amazon. I kept checking back. In the US these things are priced at $129 so I was expecting to pay more than $149 for it. When I ordered the 2600 at first it said delivery would be December 1st, then November 25th and then it arrived today. I am giving this 5 stars because of its early arrival, the quality of the product and the memories it brought back. I bought my first Atari 2600 back in 1980 or so with money saved up from my paper route. The original cost me a small fortune back then but it included two joysticks, two paddles and a couple of games. Comparatively speaking this thing is dirt cheap. I ordered up a second joystick to go a long with it and finding a usb compatible plug floating around the house was enough. Set up was a breeze of course. The plus looks very similar to the original, just smaller. The joysticks have the same tight feel of the ones from my youth. The games look great on modern screens, and the game play is still captivating. My 20 year old son saw me hooking it up and it didn't take him long to join me in a game of combat and one of missile command. He commented on the difference between these games compared to the ones he buys with their 3-D graphics and immersive story telling. I have already been on ebay to order up a couple more games and expect to buy the paddle bundle in a week or two. 5/5 stars.

I Love this Atari 2600+. It brings back old times wonderfully! I Bought two Atari flashbacks (5 & 8) hated them both. The picture was crap. The Atari 2600+ has a great picture and sound because of the HDMI output! Best of all Atari put out a list of cartridges that work with it and the list can be trusted. Since I bought this I purchased Super breakout, Starmaster, Kaboom!, Enduro, 3D tic-tac-toe,Superman and all of them even though they are 40+ years old work just fine. I say Enjoy. The joystick works the same and the paddle work great. It's just like I have my old 2600 again! I Highly recommend this!

Yeah, it's an emulation box - but one of the better (best?) ones out there. Think if Nintendo allowed cartridges on the NES or SNES minis (and made the console a little larger) and that is kind of what you have here with Atari's offering.

Controllers and games (including the 10-in-1 and new ones being produced) work in the old Atari's as well as vice versa (that includes your original controllers too). There are a small amount of games that don't work and a lot of homebrew doesn't (to be expected on emulation machines), however (as seen in the picture) I was able to boot up a rather obscure PAL multicart from Australia and it worked (though Ice Hockey was played on a black screen instead of white).

Like another reviewer stated, maintaining old Atari units are getting cumbersome and are more and more for the hardcore hobbyists and tinkerers. Those who just want to play their old games and maintain a collection of Atari carts they can easily play will love this little unit. That goes for me who dug up my old carts a few months ago but haven't been able to test my original 2600 to see if it even works (let alone try to figure out the cable math to hook it up to a modern TV). This thing is just easy and fun.

It doesn't come with a power plug but the USB will plug into any TV with a USB port and will power the console that way (so you don't need an extra wall adapter if you don't want to use one). Everything else looks and feels like the original 2600, which is kinda wild.

I'd probably give it a 4.5 in a vacuum, but will give Atari the benefit of the doubt as far as furthering game compatibilities with updates as well as supporting future original 2600/7800 game releases. This has the potential to breathe a lot of life into retro gaming as whole and I'm all for it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Atari CX-2600 Collections Work Correctly Again!
Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2023

This was such a thrill to activate this unit.

Many of us 20th century gamers grew up with the 6507-equipped CX-2600 with its 160x192 pixels in 128 colors with 128 bytes of RAM in a RIOT chip. We still have the dozens, even hundreds of cartridges and controllers, but our ability to maintain our heavy-sixers and light-fours is steadily waning away.

We can rebuild our boards with capacitor and resistor kits, but the CPU chip is impossible to find. Also, the video played on a modern video panel jitters and flickers. All of these problems are now gone.

This new unit plugs right in and goes to work without a hiccup. The old controllers plug right in and work. Games do the same. The unit is of quality construction on the outside though the switches are very clunky. Image reproduction is excellent with 4:3 and 16:9 ratios available.

The slow downs: 1. finding a wall nub with a USB-C connector to plug into this unit is necessary; just as in the 1970s, everything here is strung together by short wires which means gamers have to sit up close to their huge video panels to play games; the unit is in a reduced size similar to the Atari flashback series of consoles; the included cartridge has dip switches which all original games did not have; it's a shame this unit does not play the 5600 series games.

I highly recommend this unit. Giving up on updating and maintaining our forty five year old consoles is now possible. The buyer will not regret this purchase and play Atari for another forty years.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works okay for most games, but not compatible for some Atari games
Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2024

I was excited to get this game system and play old Atari games that I enjoyed during my youth. I found several used Atari games for sale online for reasonable prices (around $10 each). It's fun to play these games mostly for nostalgia reasons. However, a few of the old games still hold up as fun/challenging games despite their old technology and poor graphics by today's gaming standards (e.g., Donkey Kong, Pac Man, Frogger, Defender II, etc.). The only downsides I noticed is that this Atari 2600+ game system only comes with 1 joystick controller... so you must buy another joystick controller if you want to play 2 player games. Also, the controller you get is a bit difficult to use (you have to move the joystick just right to get the game to move in that direction... this can be very frustrating when playing games like Pac Man and you move the joystick up, but the game doesn't recognize it). The other disappointment that I found is that that 2600+ system is not 100% compatible with all of the old Atari game cartridges. I bought 10 old games (all of which were tested by the seller/vendor before purchase) and 3 of them didn't load/work on my machine. I bought another back of 7 and 2 or 3 didn't work either. I'm told this is a common issue with the 2600+ and not that I have a defective unit. Overall, it's fun. But I don't think I'll play it often.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you want to play Atari cartridges on an HDTV, this is a great way to do it

The 2600+ plays Atari 2600 and 7800 game cartridges. If you already own some carts or want to collect them, this is a great way to play them on a modern TV with HDMI.

The build quality of the 2600+ console and joystick is quite solid. And it looks just like an original 2600, albeit sized down a bit by 20%. So it's smaller than the original but not too small in my opinion.

It currently plays 39 out of 40 of my carts and I understand there are a few other officially released carts not supported yet. Atari is currently working on a firmware update to address those games and it should be released shortly. Check out the Atariage 2600+ forum for the latest information.

Several 7800 games require a 2-button joystick to play properly but the 2600 joystick only has 1 fire button. Atari will be releasing a new 7800 2-button gamepad to address this. I wish they had released this gamepad at launch. But if you have an original 7800 controller it will work with the 2600+. (As will any original 2600 controller for all 1-button games.)

The box does not come with a power block, but any USB power block will work with it. I have a drawer full of those laying around so this was not an issue. The console can also be plugged directly into the USB port of your TV if it has one.

Overall this is a very nice piece of hardware and with updates it will get even better. Highly recommended if you want an authentic looking and feeling Atari 2600 experience on a modern TV.

4.5 Stars overall. I will reevaluate after the new firmware is released and when they release a 7800 controller.

Update: I see a few reviews mentioning that their cartridges would not load. Atari cartridges are multiple decades old at this point. The metal contacts on the carts need to be cleaned. Just clean them with isopropyl alcohol and a Q-tip. (See YouTube if you need a demo.) I had several carts that did not load initially, that work fine now once properly cleaned.
