Well, this advertising is full of lies. I never get to ask questions or advice to operators!

No I’m right there with you, 2600 was pretty much just a bunch of squares playing similar games with different themes and great box art.
I was a little younger, so only my older cousins hat ataris, I had NES and still play emulated games from that system with my 8y/o and they hold up well (Super Mario3, and Dr. Mario are specifically hits at the moment).
I do distinctly remember hearing my first CD on a good stereo, no crackling or distortion, and how amazing it was to do things like replay a track, or skip a lame song. Cassettes were only a little better than 8-tracks, I’m not nostalgic for that at all (other than the designs from mixed tapes, but just the aesthetic)
I don't mean to be shitty about it, but I had a 2600 when they first came out and I hated it even then. So I guess I am just curious: what on Earth is the appeal? I see this unit plays 7800 games, which - thank your lucky stars, because 2600 games are really and truly shit - but even if they weren't, all the advances made in consoles, gaming, etc were made for a reason. These joysticks were/are absolutely horrible. I've abandoned lots of consoles I owned over the years, but I miss some of the games, so I have emulators of almost every console I've owned (and also MAME for arcade stuff), but I play them on my modern computer with modern controllers.
It's like the younger folks getting into cassette tapes. What's so fun about this? They were a pain in the ass and they really didn't sound great. I get wanting to own "stuff" - but I mean, CDs are so superior and their liners are even better. At least with vinyl you can say "well it has that analog warmth and the liners were amazing!"
Sorry, showing my crusty age.
These types of things always seem to be bad. I'd love something modern that I could get an authentic experience with. Disappointing this is another flop. Doesn't seem to be anything that hits the mark.
