For many years we have been clamoring for some kind of new gaming-related venture from the fabled Atari brand. Cemented in to the interactive entertainment space since the 1970’s, the company has never really made much effort as far as fans are concerned towards new gaming products, until recently that is. The brand, which has felt largely underutilized over the years considering its pop-culture status, has been teasing a new console as of late.
While a teaser video hit last month followed by new images of the PC-based Ataribox console, there are still a number of important details up in the air.

ATGames is known for its vintage consoles that come filled with many of our favorites from the Atari, Nintendo and Sega eras. In fact, many of its machines not only come packed with titles built-in, but some of them can even play those old cartridges in the attic once you dust them off. Despite not being nearly as sought after as the official NES and upcoming SNES Classic Editions from Nintendo itself, the ATGames machines offer significantly more value in terms of actual software and features in many ways.
The company is set to drop new premium versions of its Atari and Sega Genesis Flashback consoles this fall, along with value-priced editions and portables. Today we have more details on each, pricing and pre-order information… Expand Expanding Close
