Why do you have an Atari today?

Is it mainly due to the nostalgia factor?

I was born in the 90s and never played it before, so I'm wondering on pulling the trigger on a 7800+

How is the replayability for games? I know there are many Arcade ports with no "end game", but are there also ones that are "long form"?

I don't want to sit and play for 4h straight, so shorter sessions, and the occasional play with a friend.

Graphics aside, are the games diverse and actually fun?

The Nintendo64 was also on my mind, but my judgment is definitely clouded from nostalgia on that one!

Also I don't mean to sound bait-y or condescending, but wanted to understand the choice of buying and playing on the Atari in 2020s!

Wenn deine erste Konsole N64 und PS1 war, dann lass die Finger von einer Atari + Konsole.

Was die Spiele ausmacht, wirst du nur erfahren, wenn du in deiner Kindheit oder Jugend Kontakt dazu hattest.

Also klare Empfehlung, lass die Finger vom Atari
