Forgot this happened.
I looked into it, but never ended up getting one because I didn't have $400 to gamble on a kickstarter

Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

There are better and cheaper options this year so you didn't miss anything. There's the Atari Game Station Pro that emulates many old systems including Atari for $75 and the Atari 2600+ for $130 that directly replicates the 2600 but with HDMI.
If I saw it for $200 I'd be tempted to pick one up but I feel the price point was too high.
Does this support sideloading? Actual cartridges? Is it 2600 games only?
From what I hear, there's an online store, but the games are super cheap.
