Obsolete But Neat, Want to Play old Atari Home Computer Games on the original hardware but don’t have a disk or drive that does not work anymore. Bring you Atari 8 Bit Home Computer in the 21 centenary with a SD Card reader that will play all the old classic games on on Card. #retrogaming #retrogames #Atari I unbox the device here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7T4RB0-UNMc I am a fan of this format of computer sometimes called the grandfather of the Amiga as Jay Miner was one of the developers at Atari on this computer. Great way to get access to the large variety of software for this computer as it was sold for over a decade like the Commodore 64 its rival of the 8 bit computer giants. floppy disk drive emulator for any 8bit ATARI computer
