Comment on Atari Launches Atari 2600+

Comments

If they made it easy to write new games for it, with full documentation and a method to get the games on the console, I bet it would really take off with the fantasy console people.

There is also batari basic, not sure how much more accessible or easy they could make it. The first link cartridges should work in 2600+

Never tried it myself, but the Atari Flashback consoles [1] had an SD card slot that you could use to play your own ROMs.

Yes, I was thinking the same thing. A retro console with an easy way for novices to develop and distribute games. I can see that being a hit.
