The ATARI VCS Console allows you to not just play all the old-school games, but it's actually a PC with an AMD processor?? Also, we wish we could get our hands on this last year.

Anthony needs his own weekly channel that focuses solely on retro games and tech.
Imagine sending the message that your audience can't spell or use proper grammar.

Super-Sized review of everything the VCS has got, take it apart, do all the mods possible and do it all on LLT. Thanks in advance plus have Anthony do it, cause he's the best. More Anthony everywhere would be great.
Agreed I love Anthony. Best of LTT. Need more Anthony.

Anthony + retro gaming > E3 2021.

Then the silicon shortage is greater than the E3?
E3 isn't for gamers anymore its just a marketing convention

@@Teraplexor1 ITS ALWAYS ANTHONY TIME!!!!!
Definitely want to see an in depth on this! I nearly backed it, but I was skittish over the hardware and how well it would run in PC mode.
I just cant get enough of Anthony. Such a humble, funny guy! You just want to give him a hug and chill out with him.
Atari: sending XL shirt.
Anthony: visibly disappointed

I would love to see more from Anthony on this!! Very cool unboxing.
Yes we want a in-depth review. Just to see more Anthony. Little is good. More must be better!!
Do a full LTT video about, this is a fun little machine!
yes
Why? It's just a glorified low-end PC...
@@GareWorksYeah, but it has the Atari logo on it.
This brings a lot of memories and tears.
My past away siblings had Atari but by the late 90s they had only the broken console and a joystick.
They'd been talking highly about it when I was a child and I've always wanted to play the games they had played.
Love Anthony and the retro time
"they have the back of the box for some games but not all of then"
its almost like we had an preservation issue :P
One of the really cools things eventually coming to this is an program that will allow you to make your own 2600 style games for it and share them on the games store. That seems really cool to me.
Upvote is solely for Anthony.
simp
@doomer boy i like anthony but people are *too* nice to him, it's a little weird tbh, every time he shows up 90% of the comments are about how great he is, it comes across as obsessive
Why put on review this cynical guy who has no sentiments to the 8 bat era?
@doomer boy literally every straight intelligent person. Surprised?
@@fffUUUUUU I didn’t see a single bat in this video. Maybe try a channel about baseball?

I'd love to see you guys do a full review! More Anthony please!! :D
I liked the little lights around the Classic Controller stick, and doubly so after noticing the little fade effect when you successfully returned a shot!
God himself has decided to grace us, automatic upvote. Tho, I still want Anthony teaching madison about linux. just chaos. I WANT IT
that would be both endlessly infuriating and endlessly enjoyable as well!
I think the real question that needs answered on LTT - can it be overclocked and water cooled?
It can be overclocked yes, but Atari doesn't want you too.
The Atari "800" model means that it comes with 8 gb of ram. The "400" model comes with 4.
The 400 model wasn't even manufactured
I need more of that Atari in my life. Would love to see what it can fully do.
Definitely want a full review. This thing is SICK! I owned the 2600 for a while along time ago and absolutely loved it! It was a big mistake selling it.
I would love a complete LTT video about this! Maybe exploring the upgradability and using it to emulate other consoles or something like that.
id like to see a review of this for sure, would love other companies to do something like this as well.
Yes please full review these are very interesting. I had a 2600 back in the early 90s.
Our boi Anthony's hosting again, Noice!
Would love to see a more in-depth review. I'm intrigued by this new area of pc/console crossovers.
Warlords was a damn good game. That one cart entertained me and my family for years back in the 1980's. What sucks is that it's hard to play it on a modern system because paddles don't exist anymore as a standard controller. Looking back, that was probably the very first game in which I spent over 100 hours playing. I didn't hit that many hours again till the Xbox 360.
I started writing a version for my ZX81, and while it was possible in a somewhat graphically limited form, I soon realised that without paddle controls it loses its playability.
100 hours on warlord sounds like unbearable pain to me haha
@@doomedtoobscurity3965 That's after years and years of having that game. The last time I played it was in 1999 before I left for college. And we got the game right when it first came out around 1983?
Looks cool! Definitely want to see more of the VCS!
Original title: ATARI is back as a PC? - ATARI VCS Console
Hell yeah. I love Retro Time!
i'd say i can never get enough Anthony ... but you know what i really can't get enough of? all the love and support from the community for Anthony!
I would love to just try this thing for a weekend so I could relive some of these classics with the vibrating controllers. that's a really nice touch honestly.
I love hearing "Atari 800" mentioned in modern videos. My first computer!
As a VCS developer, I wish decent-sized channels would do something like a "best games on VCS". I understand the focus on the hardware. But for someone considering the console, the decision to buy it is pretty questionable without knowing the games on it BESIDES the classic Atari games. The library is quite small, which is something that gets mentioned often when talking about game streaming services, but that sometimes gets ignored with the VCS. It's a fair criticism. But I'd like to think you could take a positive spin on it and try some of the obscure indie games that are on the system to get a better sense for what you can expect to show up on the VCS down the line. It's obviously indie-focused, so it's important to know if there are games worth playing on it! (Spoiler: I think there are if you look for them.)
Granted, I think the market for it is probably more in line with a Raspberry Pi than a typical game console. It's going to appeal to tinkerers because of the PC mode. But that's been covered by other reviewers. The big gap in coverage is with the games available on the VCS shop. It might not be the primary thing to attract people to the VCS, but as an added bonus for people who are on the fence, it's worth mentioning. And it certainly gives a better sense of the console's performance capabilities than showing off retro Atari games!
I see no compelling reason for this thing to exist other than to cash in on the (ridiculous) rose tinted nostalgia of the 'Baby Boomers' & 'Gen X' types who grew up playing the 2600 in the 70's & early 80's and who now have money to burn.
Id just love anything Atari related to become more relevant lol
@@basshead. Is that a problem?
@@basshead. I'm thinking of getting it as my daughters first console and PC and I'm a millennial.
@@shoofly6834 get the kid a switch my god
more videos with Anthony please!!! great job!
Great review. Love Retro Games. More reviews please.
I want to see more, i'd like to know if Atari has added any more games or anything interesting since it initially rolled out.
Maybe you can test if ut can be overclocked or watercooled...
We will 'really' appreciate an in depth review.
I’d love to see a full review very cool
definitely more retro Anthony, i want to see the full review one linus tech tips.
I'd love to see a LTT video on this. You could set up the PC side to play the Windows/MS-DOS ports of games released for other Atari consoles (like Tempest 2000 or Rayman).
It is *beautiful.*
Love the materials, the console, the controllers and the *wood.*
Hey Anthony great video! Would definitely like to see a more in depth feature on the Atari.
this looks really interesting, waiting for the full the review.
"do not return it to the retail store"
I did business with the retail store. It sure as hell is going back there when its not working. The retail store may deal with you, Atari.
Things always say that.
They're basically saying that most people will try to return a broken product to the store past the return period. Then when the store tells them tough luck, they don't go any further with get the problem resolved. A huge prob of people don't inquire about warranty through the company, and they just chalk it up as a liar, and then it hurts the brand. Almost ever person I know, when I ask about something and they say it's broken, they almost never take advantage of the 1+ year manufacturer warrant.
Actually, what we totally mean is that 95% of the time whatever is happening can be troubleshot with the Atari support team to get you up and running quickly. (Probably more quickly than a trip back to the store.)
I was like “why is AMD in there?”
Then I remembered what ATI is now...
I feel like a moron...
Need an in-depth review - let’s go!
Please make a full review. Looking forward to it, even if it has been done already.
Missed opportunity to give Anthony the Gold controller to compare it against!
You could probably use this as a multi media/home theatre PC because it's pretty well designed and would fit in with most 'designer' speakers.
Yes! More retro stuff please!
Also more retro modding on LTT please!
Yay!! Retro time with Anthony is back!! 👾👍
I love antony unique essence.
"Can you put a price on memories? I lose mine all the time." -- That's some Mark Twain level wit right there!
Full review please! Have been on mailing list for this thing for a while, would love to see its full capabilities.
Would love to see more!
I would definitely like to see this in more detail on LTT! To have an idea of how powerful it is, could you try to run Grand Theft Auto V on it in PC mode?
I definitely wanna see a full video with the PC mode
maybe even with SteamOS
A full review would be cool!
I've been waiting for a video by Anthony 😁😁
I remember playing "Last Starfighter", loading from tape.

Ah brings back the good ol' stuffs.
River Raid, Missile Command, Asteroids, Yars Revenge, Pitfall, Space Invaders, Adventure,
and Combat ( it's all about dueling two players with tanks etc, Good stuffs haha )
Show the whole damn thing! I love watching this guy.
Would love to see a full depth review!
I am just curious why are there no Atari Jaguar or Atari Lynx games being released on the newer Atari VCS? I find it a bit odd that Atari would not take advantage of the older games. Many people do not or have not ever tried/owned a Lynx or a Jag and would love to try out some of the older games. Personally I think Atari might want to take a page from Nintendo's playbook like Nintendo's eshop. I see no reason why the Atari VCS would not be able to handle the emulation. I understand that perhaps it could be a licensing issue if Atari no longer owns the rights to the games it created for those consoles but if not a license issue than it is a missed opportunity.
2:33 - 800 means it's the 8GB model. They also sell 4GB models and label them as 400.
FYI - there is no 400 model, because they upgraded the chipset mid-project, and the base-spec is 8GB. Maximum RAM is 32GB.
Yes, make a review about it, looks awesome and we get Anthony
If Anthony continues that schtick for anything retro related I'd be happy to watch the video again and again
Nice one Anthony!
I had an atari 7800 when i was a kid, I might enjoy the VCS :)
All right, thanks... Now the fact that I know it exists, I need to get this to replace my HTPC in the living room :D It looks soo good!
Yep. Definitely need to see more on this console. I'll say the same for Amico as well.
I've seen other reviewers and they were just talking bad about it, and this is one of the few that liked it. Please go more into depth!
The fact is that it's small, it might look good in an entertainment center, and people really underestimate what you can do with a CPU that doesn't have a lot of power. Even the weakest of today's dual-core CPUs can be used for some nice things.
GN review was quite positive, at least on the hardware level. It looks good, build quality isn't crappy, and the teardown showed good overall PCB and cooling design.
What wasn't great was the intention of marketing this as an actual console, which it isn't. It's just a mini PC with an Atari shell for its retro games, and you can do that on any PC. You pay for the aesthetics and the convenience of it being already configured for you in a pleasing way, that's it.
@@thelegendaryklobb2879 Yup. It's an expensive, under powered mini PC with a bunch of retro games.
If only it costs less than $300......
You guys should build a custom Atari VCS with something like a Ryzen 5000G APU in a low-profile Mini-ITX motherboard if possible.
More Anthony!! In depth review please!!
Dude Anthony love the hair man. Wish I could grow mine like that
I want to see this thing upgraded to the max. A little sleeper atari running pcsx3 & shit. I would buy a pice of merch to see that.
I Honestly don't see this Running RPCS3 now maybe in the far future when the Emulator is optimize but given how weak the CPU is i just dont see it. RPCS3 is very CPU Heavy and loves High Cores and Threads. i just dont see this 2C 4T Zen 1 AMD Cpu doing the Job.
@@matthewjuarbe5826 yeah, it'd be cool to see them build a little ryzen apu system in it
@@over7532 i dont think the APU in the VCS is upgradeable just the ram and storage. Its sad they went woth such a weak APU i guess to keep cost down but for $400 they could have a zen+ or even zen 2 APU. I just dont understand why ATari went so cheap
Prove it
ANTHONY 😍😍😍 my king
yes more. we need more of this and a tear open
I love Anthony’s retro game videos
I'd love an in depth look at this thing on ltt. Let's see them internals
Anthony about the carboard box with tabs: "That's cute."
Anthony simps: "God, I wish that were me."
Yes PLEASE do another video on LTT on this. I wanna see everything it can do.
In depth review with teardown!!! There are supposed to be a bunch of easter eggs inside.
I want it just for Yar's Revenge. This really took me back lol.
Yeah a good game for sure
You can get one of those atari plug-and-play systems and save about $400.
@@keithfulkerson came here to say that. Basically the same game set, minus the sub par PC , can be gotten in those for about $10-20.
My brothers and I played the **** out of Yar's Revenge . Such great memories of our childhood together !!! I love my brothers
If you have a ps4 Xbox or switch they have those Atari flashback games . I had the same nostalgia bug and found it for my ps4
i love the running joke of silica gel being a "snack for later"
PC mode review would be nice; thanks Anthony!
