MagyarAtari 400 returns as mini retro console with 25 games and ROM support
After retro consoles such as the SNES Mini or the C64 Mini enjoyed great popularity, Retro Games Ltd. is now bringing back the Atari 400. The "THE400 Mini" is around half the size of the original and the design is largely the same, but neither the keyboard nor the slot for game modules are functional.
Instead, Retro Games has installed five USB-A ports, which can be used to connect the included joystick, a separately available gamepad, a keyboard or a USB stick, among other things. The HDMI port ensures compatibility with modern televisions and monitors. Buyers receive 25 games from the 80s that are factory installed on the console, including classics such as Missile Command, M.U.L.E., Star Raiders II and Berzerk.
A special feature is that the game library can be expanded by loading ROMs onto a USB stick. The console is compatible with titles for the Atari 400, Atari 800, Atari XL and XE as well as the Atari 5200. Players can save progress in one of four memory slots per game, rewind up to 30 seconds at any time, and enhance gameplay with one of twelve optional frames.
Price and availability
The Atari THE400 Mini Retro Console is expected to launch in Europe on March 28, 2024. For $119.99, buyers will receive the mini console with 25 factory-installed games, a USB joystick, an HDMI cable and a USB cable for power supply; a USB power adapter has to be purchased separately. Further details about the console can be found on the Retro Games Ltd website.
