The Atari 2600+ is here! But is it any good? Kris puts his console through its paces by trying various controllers, comparing it to original hardware, Retron 77, and Atari VCS, tries all manner of games, and more! How did it fare, and which accessories should you absolutely consider purchasing to go along with it? Let's take a look!
Use Genesis controllers on the 2600+ with the Mega 7800: sag.rocks/3RlgUbW
Get some distance between you and your TV with Genesis Controller Extensions: sag.rocks/3RJw0cN
Keep your Atari games clean with 1up Card: stoneagegamer....
This is a pretty neat controller too: sag.rocks/3NuzHR6

I just picked up my 2600+ with all the trimmings! I even picked up joystick extension wires! Can’t wait to dive in!

That sound issue is, I believe, an issue with how modern tvs process sound. I've had similar issues with sound once in a while

Great review. I did not know the Sega Genesis controllers work with any Atari system without an adapter, as they're wired slightly differently than Atari joysticks. So I've been using the Seagull 7800 adapter for several years on my original hardware, which also work great on the 2600 Plus.

As you pointed out, this is a very much niche system. At its price point, I can see the msrp will plummet after xmas. The better value imho would be the Atari Game Station Pro. Granted it can't load physical carts, but it can play many different systems via micro-sd card and utilize modern day controllers for the fraction of the price of a 2600+ No cart searching/cleaning and it plays all games that the 2600+ cannot including my favorite Pitfall 2 and a ton of home-brews in HD. Thanks for your most awesome in-depth review.

I'm not really in the market for this, but I had fun watching this anyway. It's fun seeing your enthusiasm for Atari. It's a shame this doesn't support Pitfall 2, so hopefully they can update it to support that.

I'm hopeful that they'll get there.

A wired controller in 2023. They should have just made wireless joysticks with the ability to plug in wired ones if you want. Charge a few extra bucks and call it a day

They certainly made some interesting choices with this machine.
