The Atari 2600+ comes out tomorrow for $129.99 (see it on Amazon). Anyone who lived through the early days of console gaming, or who’s interested in seeing what it was like, may want to take a look at this thing. It’s a slightly smaller re-creation of the original console, but unlike the original, it has an HDMI out, so it can connect to modern TVs.

CX40+ Joystick
Buy the new console, and you’ll get a game cartridge that holds these 10 games:
•Adventure
•Combat
•Dodge 'Em
•Haunted House
•Maze Craze
The CX40 joystick wasn’t the only way to interact with old-school Atari games. Some games worked better with CX30 paddle controllers. This bundle includes two CX30+ controllers, as well as a cartridge that includes the following games:
•Breakout
•Canyon Bomber
•Night Driver
•Video Olympics
All of these games use the two paddle controllers.
