The Atari 400 Mini isn't just another tiny retro console. It's the perfect home for all your emulated 8-bit Atari games.
I’ve accumulated a lot of retro console reproductions in my day. The Super NES Classic Edition and Genesis Mini 2 are both prized possessions, giving me easy access to a mess of great games. Last year’s excellent Atari 2600+ would especially win me over thanks to it nearly 1:1 replication of the original machine — it could even run my old cartridges with ease. While these tend to go on a shelf after I’ve had my fill of them, I appreciate having a tangible way to experience video game history.
Related The Mini version captures every detail of that device and shrinks it down to the size of an SNES Classic. Though there’s a lot to praise about the machine, I’m left with some minor disappointment after the revelatory Atari 2600+. That latter device doesn’t just preserve old games, but the feeling of actually playing them in the 1970s. You could feel what it was like to plop a cartridge in, press down a metal reset rod, or plug in a paddle.
Those are small complaints though, ones that’ll only bug those who are bought in on the 2600+. If you love having tiny versions of old consoles that can all neatly fit on a shelf, the Atari 400 Mini is a great little ode to an unsung hero of gaming.
