IIRC when Tramiel bought Atari their vision was all about the 16/32 bit computers but did quite a few things to bring in cash based on the existing Atari designs - and chips. That's the Atari 65 and 130XE too just being rehashes of older 8 bit Bushnell computers.
I'm all Tramiel-Atari era myself so never even reflected on the 8 bit re-releases though so I might be misremembering something.
I was big into gaming and computers back then and this is the first time I’ve heard of this.
On paper, it sounds great… A 5200 with more memory and no shitty joysticks?
Compatible with the Atari 400/800 software?
Shit, I would have bought one just for Star Raiders. Of course this was also 2 years after the Amiga and Atari ST battles as well. Why would anyone want an 8 bit experience in that era?
It’s my chill out game. I have heard people talk about Stardew Valley, but I can’t seem to find the physical cartridge, and I’m ideologically opposed to completely digital licensing.
I love Stardew! Definitely my favorite chillout game, but I think it’s a little bit less chill than Animal Crossing because it feels like there’s never enough time to do everything in an in-game day.
I only ever played the PC version of Stardew. This might not be totally accurate, but I understand it started on PC.
