Why I hope the Atari 400 Mini will bring respect to Atari’s most underrated platform

Can USB, HDMI, and built-in games raise awareness for a platform overshadowed by the C64?

@[email protected] it is good to see this relatively low-profile PC get some retro love as it was a haven and, occasionally, the birthplace for some innovative games.

I only learned about the machine more recently, mainly due to it being the original system for Archer Maclean's Defender-inspired masterpiece, Dropzone.

I've played a few of the games on the system on my MISTer and can see the appeal but I think a dedicated mini-console will only appeal to dedicated fans.
