Its easy to forget video game characters used to be drawn only a few pixels high.
Just because games have come so far, doesnt mean they are inherently better than what came before.
No need for some weird adapter that introduces lag and stretches out the image.
you could switch between aspect ratios on the fly whether your prefer 4:3 or 16:9.
That means you’re free to also plug in original Atari controllers for the true retro experience.
Atari has released a large catalogue of its original games.
Each comes with its own slipcase, instruction manual, and flatpack box like back in the day.
The Atari 7800+ is easy to set up.
You already know it connects to you TV over HDMI.
For power, it works over simple USB-C.
However, it only comes with the USB-C cable and not a wall charging plug for your outlet.
Youll have to pick that up separately or find a spare lying around your home somewhere.
