Customer Ratings & Reviews

I am not sure how I feel about this game system. I gave it 4 stars because of the nostalgia. However, the system is not very intuitive and the support is practically non-existent. I found more help from Discord servers than Atari itself. This is definitely not the experience I had with Atari growing up.

Was definitely pleasantly surprised with this thing. The games are fun, not too too expensive, and they harken back to a much simpler time. I found myself playing on my Atari for hours.

I use it mainly as a PC with Steam installed. With 16gbs of ram, you can pump out 60fps on most games.

It’s a classic gaming and streaming machine. Plus it’s a PC. I love it! The price may be a little bit steep. But it does so much!

Great system for nostalgia. The store ads a new 7800 game for $3 every Friday along with others new games. It’s great for when you just want to play games for 20-30 min when you don’t have a lot of spare time to spend hours and hours on a more modern game. If you’re a fan of the older retro systems, this will be a good one for you.

Well it looks cool. The atari store doesnt get many new games and its a bit of a hassle to buy anything through the shop. It seems to run slower than any other device via wifi(downloads, browsing, etc.) Overall it does come with a decent free gaming service (Antstream), and 100 classic atari titles. PC mode is generally how i use this device, the Atari OS is lacking for my preferences.

It was a pretty disappointing console to be honest. I ended up wiping the hard drive and installing Batocera Linux to turn it into an emulation device. In that regard it works great, but you could do the same with a raspberry pi for far less money.

Despite not selling well, it's library of games are great and affordable. Flexibility is also a big plus as this console also can double as a PC. Controllers are super sleek, especially the joystick. And online play doesn't require a subscription!

Fun machine to tinker with. Was clearly built to customize. However, it would be nice if you didn’t have to spend a few hours researching online how to update/unlock bios.

Atari VCS is a decent console for those reminiscing the old game days. Outside of that nostalgia, there's really not a whole lot with this system that it has to offer unless you customize it internally so that it can run Steam, or Epic. The controller setup was a little weird, to connect it you needed to plug it in and update it and it should then recognize it wirelessly but for me it would not do that. Had to try it multiple times.

Not to impressed with game selection and overall hype of this unit. Maybe with additional games can change.

Great retro experience! Brings back memories, the vault 1 and 2 have loads of games, antstream arcade has hundreds more. The recharged series is pumping out great games, my favorite so far is centipede recharged along with asteroids recharged. Next month we get gravatar recharged which is looking great and many more as supposed to be on the way. If you grew up playing these games you will have a blast with the system!

really unique integrated game system, the PC gaming is powerful and the system is very flexible

This system was more impressive than I even thought! You have some old school classics and a full library of more hits including NES games! Very glad i bought it. Excellent display. Highly recommend for any gamer.

Old school meets up with today’s technology. Brings back childhood memories of playing the original Atari games. Haven’t really used it for computer or other gaming options yet.

My goodness this brought back so many fond memories. The games are a nice throw back to when gaming was pure

I’ve got to be honest, I bought this purely out of nostalgia. This was a very first gaming console. I had was the Atari 2600 and now owning this one brings back to that childhood excitement, but I haven’t been able to open to play yet it probably won’t get open till Christmas so if anything goes wrong I’ll update my review then, happy hunting!

Its a great system when you can play it but everytime there is a update it locks up on update and have to get Atari to send me a update file to load it in . Last time the file was bad and took 2 weeks to get a new file that worked.Now its locked up again on the new update.

When I heard Atari was being resurrected I knew I had to get it. The retro controller, all the vintage games I grew up with, faster, more ability, modern design with the retro nuances.

This thing is junk. I really tried to give it a chance, but it has ZERO redeeming qualities. Every single time I try to update it, it will freeze. In the past, I would have to connect to my mobile WiFi to get the update to install. It would not work on my FIOS WiFi, or hardwired. Now, it will not update, no matter what I do. Don't take my word. Do a web search and look at the actual reviews. I have worked in IT for 23 years and have never had the misfortune of dealing with such a poorly conceived or supported device in my life.
