Customers are saying

Customers value the VCS 800 All-in Bundle's RAM upgradeability and flexibility, frequently citing its ability to expand storage and function as a mini PC. However, many find the price point to be high and express concerns about the limited game library and occasional performance issues. Some users also note the system's fan noise.

    I was so excited when this was delivered until I tried using it. I hooked it up and it wouldn’t even turn on so I returned it.

    The Little Atari That Could

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I really wanted to love this and I’m still not giving up. Antstream is what gives you the most games. The Atari library 1&2 not as exciting but a must have. The remakes of Asteroid, Centipede and Missile Command are absolutely insane! Its like moving art! Then some disappointment, no Frogger, no Ms. PacMan? Both controllers nice but not over the top great. The unit feels solid, excellent design, fans a bit loud. The crazy part? Stadia and Xbox cloud is available! It is the most expandable game system I’ve ever seen so I fully expect this to improve software wise over time. Right now your a 3/4 star but after they catch up with more software? We are looking at 5/6

    Works great! Has a good amount of games and doubles as a pc if you install windows on it. Can have ram upgraded and you can add an NVME for extra storage as well!

    Atari VCS is Awesome!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The Atari VCS is an awesome console. You can play old Atari classic games or the new Atari Recharged series. Also, you can stream Xbox Game Pass or install Microsoft Windows. I really enjoy playing with the new classic joystick.

    Atari, but double the price.

    All games that they give you can be gotten off line for free. I dont even think they have a copy right on them. Can be played on simple low grade Wii’s for free. Use classic controllers and its atari with new style controllers. When developing this and building it, what age group where they looking to hit with atari games regardless. The younger generation, being 30 and under gets all these games for free. Type in atari roms on a google search. Done. Save $.

    Please don't buy this for any reason. Maybe if it was a quarter of the current price. But even then, only maybe.
