It's a pity that they couldn't dust off the old Pac-Man Collection that Bob DeCrescenzo made a decade or so back and included that here. That cart is brilliant... but apparently not nostalgic enough.
Other than that, the console looks nice and I usually don't care for these colored consoles. But since I already have a 2600+, I'm wondering if the Double Feature cart will also be available separately.
People will outrage over anything these days... if it had been a vintage machine, I'd perhaps be more sympathetic and understanding since those are harder to come by... but Arcade1ups are still being made. One less in the world isn't going to harm any supposed game preservation movements or Arcade1up's profits.
@Cosmo_Joe No worries. I'm fond of the pre-Internet days myself... especially nowadays. But that's a conversation that's irrelevant to the unboxing of a system that... well, the less said, the better, I suppose.

Well, I already knew that beforehand and the comment was mostly in jest, but I'm sure you meant well and someone who didn't know will learn something new, so... thanks, anyway,

The old Gamespot review of this thing is still absolutely tremendous.
Re: The Atari 7800+ Resurrects Another Classic Atari Console
If this plays Xevious (7800), then I'm sold.
*The 2600+ does not play Xevious (7800)... and that makes me sad.

Re: PC-88 Action RPG Hydlide Ventures Onto Nintendo Switch On December 21st
Ugh, HYDLIDE.
Just saying the name gives you a gag reflex like you're about to puke.
HYDLIDE.
Sounds so wretched and foul.
