Customer Ratings & Reviews

Buggy software old hardware and monthly services. It has issues and new mini Ataris seem better developed.

Not so much a review but a question.. I have an Atari VCS and I've bought two SATA m.2's but neither of them work. Has anyone found a m.2 that works with the VCS and if you have could you tell me what brand and if Best Buy carries it? I would certainly appreciate it! I really like my VCS.. and I appreciate anyone' s help!

I think it’s pretty cool if you can get it for the right price but it’s definitely not worth $400

Great system after set up, Atari fans will love it

I grew up with the Atari 7800 which was backward compatible with the 2600 so I really wanted to get the Atari VCS when I first heard about it. I was so pleased when Best Buy was willing to price match it for me and let me pick it up at the local store.

Really wanted to love this so bad. My main concern was the console’s inability to connect to a hotel wifi. After connecting using my phone data instead. It reloaded and tried reconnecting like 3 times before it went pass the installation updates and such. Not much to offer on the Atari game icon. A bunch of classics but couldn’t find pac-man unless I paid a monthly membership through some arcade app. The games there are great but laggy. For playing pac-man with the joystick, it’s not very responsive as what it was back in the 2600 days. I would buy this if there’s a major price drop or pac-man and other retro ganes are added with proper joystick support.

What a waste of money. I thought it would include more games for the cost but it is basically a chrome cast. You can then purchase games separately but I expected at least pac man or something other then what was loaded. You can for another annually fee get that arcade bundle but I am not willing to spend more money on disappointment.

Fun product with a good foundation. Looking forward to future games.

Great system, but it has some issues that need to be sorted out. I hioe it gets support

Nice system to have because not only does it play videos games but it also is a mini pc

Fairly decent selection of games many titles I’ve played back in the day on my 2600 well worth the wait

A kick in the 80's. Plus the now now. A versatile little surprise. Not only a game system, but a productivity system. Work and play.

The Atari has the option of upgrading the RAM and adding a SSD. When I added both, it crashed every time I loaded Antstream. I returned it. Even with Antstream, it's not worth $400+ dollars.

If you're sick like me and want to break the bank for games you've already played and can play anywhere else for less, thaan this is for you.

Not alot going on with the Atari VCS. May be a better idea to wait for the price to drop in half.

Extremely exciting retro game system nice it includes all the classics

Not what I expected Atari to come up with. Disappointed with this product.

Must have for the Game room collection and especially in the Walnut edition. The onyx color is everywhere but this is a classic color to have.

It’s so fun to be able to play games from when I was a kid

The atari vcs is a great system to own for old games. Lots of nostalgia in the library. I highly recommend it.
