Atari Gamestation Go

I might have been sitting there, enjoying a bacon sandwich on my day off, and then the urge might have hit me: I need to play some Atari game. Now, that urge did not hit me, if it did I’d have picked up my Evercade EXP and grabbed one of the multiple Atari carts for the system—but what if you don’t have an EXP? I’m glad you asked.

Atari has been hard at work diving into the mariana-trench-worth of depth of their back-catalogue (as well as expanding aggressively), and the strategy to leverage those older titles includes new ways to play them; enter the Atari Gamestation Go. A new handheld console licensed by My Arcade that comes with 200 built-in games (according to the official Atari website) as well as an SD card slot, so adding games will probably be something we see in the future.

The Atari Gamestation Go is already up with a product page on the official Atari website, but it isn’t available for sale in Great Britain from there, so you may need to wait in hope that site like Amazon or Ebay ends up selling uints.

Playing videogames, writing about videogames, considering videogames—that about sums it up. Videogames are the one hobby that I’ve kept since I was only little, zapping ducks on the NES or knocking out MR. X. And when I’m not enjoying classics from the bit generation of games or checking out those earliest of polygons, I’m probably playing something from today’s age of modern gaming: if I’m not complaining about it. Fiddling with the Lenovo Legion Go.
