- A: AnswerThe Atari VCS does not use physical media. Games are available for purchase through Atari's digital store. So far, games have ranged in price from $3.99 - $24.99 (a bargain!). In addition to Atari's offerings, users can access gaming content from services like Antstream Arcade, AirConsole and Stadia. You can also load another OS in PC Mode and access games on their native platforms.

Q: QuestionSo at $400 it comes with Zero games included. Is that correct?(2 answers)
A: AnswerNot correct. The VCS comes with the AtariVault preloaded, which contains about 100+ games. Using the included and certified Chrome browser, you also have access to all games on STADIA. AntStream arcade is also built-in, and provides hundreds more games, all free, all available out of the box.Answered by Negaduck
Q: QuestionWhy is it priced $250 more than it's worth?(3 answers)
A: AnswerIf you compare prices of gaming PCs with the same horsepower, and consider the bundled controllers, it is priced not only competitively, but cheaper than most alternatives. Your question is loaded and trolling. Do some research before slamming a product you don't even own, and clearly, have never even seen.Answered by Negaduck
Q: Questiondo you have access to 5200 series game centipede(3 answers)
A: AnswerThe original arcade version of Centipede is included in the Atari VCS Vault of 100 games that is included free in the system, along with the Atari 2600 version that is also part of the Vault. To get the Atari 5200 version of Centipede, you must purchase the Atari VCS Vault Vol. 2 (50 more games), which is available in the Atari VCS store for $4.99.Answered by ReedRichards
- A: AnswerRyzen R1606G, 8GB of RAM and 32GB of storage (both upgradeable), two USB 3.1 ports on the front and two on the rear along with Ethernet and HDMI 2.0 ports. Not exactly a PS or XBox rival on that front, but it looks like it does have a desktop mode which is nice and technically makes it a mini PC.

- A: AnswerI'm running Windows 10 on mine, from an external SSD. Performance is excellent - and superior to my Intel i5 quad-core desktop. Onboard memory is 8gb, expandable to 32gb (which you will need to do if you want to run AAA games at a high FPS).

Q: QuestionDoes it give you that 1980's feeling?(5 answers)
A: AnswerHaving grown up playing the Atari 2600, I can honestly say, 'I love the VCS!' The classic joystick controller is by far the coolest thing about the VCS. Not only is it a modern twist on a classic joystick, it doubles as the paddle control that came with the 2600. The console is bundled with several classic Atari games to help bring back early childhood memories. I also use my VCS as a Windows PC so there's even more reason to love this console. I ignored the reviews and took a chance and I'm glad I did.Answered by Steelers2k5
Q: QuestionWill you be able to play World of Tanks on the Atari VCS 800?(2 answers)
A: AnswerYes. For now you would be able to play that and almost any other Steam game in PC Mode, which requires use of a Windows 10 USB stick. The Atari VCS customer service site has guides for how to use PC Mode and its easy if you are good with PC's.Answered by ReedRichards

Atari VCS
Very fun little console/mini pc! The vcs has been great for old and new atari games. It comes w the atari vault vol.1 and ant stream arcade(a retro game streaming service). Both are very fun and have atari arcade and console classics. Ive included a few photos here. This consiel got me into the Atari homebrew and indie games! Theres a good amount on here and the devs chat frequently w the atari vcs community about what theyre working on and for feedback. Also installed windows and running my steam and gog games on here. Good amount of hardware mods that can be done as well. But none are required as this bundle comes pretty good as is. The controllers are great. The modern controller feels like a switch power A wireless controller. And the joystick is really fun to use and has rumble. Its openned up a new side of gaming for me! With that said I hope Atari continues to make improvements to the UI and OS. Plus keep bringing more Atari classics to the system.

Have you played Atari today?
Nice piece of kit; Nostalgia at its finest. The real wood is sweet touch. The attention to detail is beyond belief and the classic games have never played better, love that they are in 4K and the added rumble support for centipede and others has brought a tear to my eye. Thanks Atari
