Enjoy the Golden Olden Days of Gaming With the Atari 400 Mini for Just $102 This July 4th [CNET]

It’s not quite as old as America, but it’s a lot closer than you’d think.

There are so very many games to play these days. You have free games like Fortnite and Genshin Impact, big releases like God of War Ragnarok and even cool indie titles like Palworld and Vampire Survivors. It’s easy to forget how much things have changed from the days of 8-bit gaming. If you fancy taking a trip back, then grab the Atari 400 Mini while it’s just over $100, all thanks to the Fourth of July sales happening now. 

While a lot of people are leaning towards the handheld gaming consoles, it’s still always nice to sit down and play some games on the TV. The Atari 400 Mini actually doesn’t just emulate one console, but multiple, and is capable of handling all of the 8-bit Atari systems, which is great if you’re going on a trip through gaming history. 

Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.

You can also do a lot of great modern things with it, like output to 720p, changing the aspect ratio, adding CRT filters and even rewing the gameplay. It’s an old-school console with plenty of great modern features, making it one of the best gaming gifts you can get for someone who’s really into gaming and has either been playing for a long time or just wants to explore the olden days.
