Atari 2600 Plus Vs Retron 77! Which Should You Buy?

Today we are comparing the Retron 77 by Hyperkin, released way back in 2018 to the brand new Atari 2600 Plus, released in late November of 2023. Which one is best for you? And what are the benefits of owning each one? Well, let's discuss it!

Also I have a few corrections too. The Retron 77 comes with a 128 MB micro SD card, not a 256. The unit did cost 73 dollars at the time of writing, but when I gathered the footage the price went up to 78 dollars. I said the 2600+ was 120 dollars but its actually about 130. Sorry.

Also, I messed up and didn't capture a lot of the audio with the gameplay, I have since gone back and fixed the issue for future video's, but for this one you just have my beautiful voice most of the time. So enjoy!

The Atari Network has 3 goals (besides entertainment) that I hope embodies everything the channel does:
1. Bring awareness to Atari, especially the often ignored Tramiel and 7800 era
2. Make sure the hardworking people both new and old (from the old guard at Atari corp to the new developers keeping Atari alive) get the recognition that they deserve for their hard work
3. Preserve the history of Atari in the video game hobby so that it survives long after us
