Atari is a mess these days, a disaster of a gaming brand, an omnishambles of ill-advised licensing. Except for this thing. This thing, I can fully get behind. While the company’s name might have been dragged into the gutter in the late 1980s after so many substandard products, kicked while it was down in the early 1990s (name your new-gen console after a big cat all you want, people still won’t buy it), and today finds itself exploring NFTs with greater zeal than actually making its new VCS console available worldwide, I am absolutely, wholeheartedly, unapologetically wowed by what LEGO has done with Atari’s first home console to use swappable ROM cartridges, the old VCS.
