With Ataribox, the Legend Returns -- Powered by Linux.
Ataribox
Have you played Atari today? Once a jingle's catchphrase as well as a legitimate query, a resurrected version of the brand is hoping you'll soon be asking that question again with the forthcoming Ataribox.
Available to pre-order on Thursday for a special price via an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign, the Ataribox is shaping up to be an amalgam of retro gaming console and living room PC. Details are mostly sketchy at this point, but we do know that it will be powered by some variant of Linux OS and will include over 100 Atari classic games pre-installed.
Unfortunately, for retro gaming fans, the full list of games isn't known yet, nor do we know other key information like the Ataribox's shipping date or its pricing (though VentureBeat reports it will sell somewhere between $250 and $300). Atari Interactive has been leaking dribs and drabs through social media, such as the inclusion of titles like Asteroids, Missile Command, and Breakout.
