My Arcade Atari Gamestation Pro

Another addition to the collection is the recently released Atari Gamestation Pro by My Arcade. This console emulates the 2600, 5200, 7800, and Atari arcade titles. It also includes a Micro-SD card slot so you can add your ROM files, and as a bonus, it includes MAME to play arcade games for that particular build.

I quite like the design as it looks like something that Atari would have released in the early 80s, with its silver motif and big buttons. Included are two wireless joysticks, each with an integrated paddle controller and system buttons. The joystick is powered by 4xAA batteries, or you can connect it to the base console using a USB-C cable that's not included.

The system has 200 built-in games for the various Atari platforms (138 are Atari titles and 63 are from Piko Interactive) and includes classics such as Adventure, Asteroids, Yar’s Revenge, and arcade titles such as Tempest, Centipede, Food Fight, and I,Robot. It has an attractive menu system that includes box art, game information and control information.
