That's pretty cool. I grew up with an Atari 2600 at home and still think about some of the games today. I remember distinctly playing Parachute (I actually remade this for a personal project) and Pitfall, as well as a handful of others. I also had an NES, and those were pretty much my only consoles until much later when we got a Sega Genesis and later I bought an OG Xbox.
However, I won't be buying this. They should instead just sell an actual emulator for PC and sell a bundle of games to go with it. Maybe sell each game for $1-2, maximum $5, and maybe offer a Switch port as well.
But I don't want to pay $130 for single use hardware, that's just dumb.
There is the atari 40th anniversary game for the switch. That's good enough for me
They own Ant Steam as far as I know, so your desires are already met.
Are you talking about this Antstream? It's not released , but I'll have to check it out when it is.
