With the Atari VCS Collector’s Edition selling out on IndieGogo, Atari has responded to the incredible demand for the retro-inspired version of the new console by announcing the Atari VCS Tribute Edition.
Those who missed out on the Collector’s Edition have another chance to pre-purchase the Atari VCS Tribute Edition, featuring the same iconic real-wood front panel. The Atari VCS Tribute Edition is cosmetically similar to the sold out Collector’s Edition but will not be part of the 6,000 “First-Run” units of the individually numbered and certified Collector’s Editions.
Designed as a completely modern connected device and not a “retro-box” or emulator, the Atari VCS features a unique open Linux platform capable of playing popular new releases and streaming entertainment. Also included in the Atari Vault, which contains over 100 all-time classic games including the likes of Asteroids, Centipede, Breakout, Missile Command, Gravitar and Yars’ Revenge.
The Atari VCS is now available for pre-sale exclusively through Indiegogo starting at $219 USD. In addition to the new Tribute Edition, the sleek and stealthy Onyx Edition is also available, as well as a reimagined “Classic Joystick” and a “Modern Controller” for new games.
