This Atari Portable Console Comes With 200 Old-School Games and Is on Sale for $50.
If good old Atari games like Pac-Man , Centipede , and Asteroids evoke deep childhood nostalgia, check out the My Arcade Atari Gamestation Go . This portable gaming device contains 200 games and is currently on sale on Woot for a record low price of $129.99 (original price: $179.99).
CNET praised the “insane variety of controller options” the device offers, though it cautioned that some games you might remember fondly may actually hold up rather poorly over time.
While there are no detachable controllers, the 7-inch screen is larger than the original Nintendo Switch and features the classic D-pad and shoulder buttons, as well as a rotary encoder, physical numeric keypad, and trackball. It comes with a sturdy stand, an HDMI port, three USB-C ports, a headphone jack, and a microSD card slot for downloading games. While the system can be updated via built-in Wi-Fi, you can’t purchase or download additional games from the app store, limiting you to the pre-installed titles.
While nostalgia is the main draw of this rechargeable console, keep in mind that the performance and pacing may feel different if you’re used to modern games on modern consoles, reminding us that not all early games have held up well over time. Still, there are plenty of options to choose from, likely including some of your favorites, making the My Arcade Atari Gamestation Go a worthy purchase for classic game lovers, especially at a $50 discount.
