TL;DR Summary

The recently released Atari 2600+ is a bare-bones hardware that allows retro gamers to play classic Atari cartridges on HD screens. While it accurately replicates the look of the original Atari 2600, it lacks modern quality-of-life features seen in other retro console revamps. The only notable updates are the switch to USB-C power input and HDMI output. The included joystick is identical to the original, and a second controller is not included. Overall, the Atari 2600+ fails to justify its "plus" sign and falls short of expectations.
