Video games have come such a long way. Games likeThe Last of Us Part IIorGod of War: Ragnarkare stunning marvels of technological progress. Completely realistically designed characters with lifelike animations and the ability to showcase subtle emotions like an actor would. Its easy to forget video game characters used to be drawn only a few pixels high. Just because games have come so far, doesnt mean they are inherently better than what came before.There is so much value in the retro games of yesteryear and now Atari has made many of them available to play at the ready on your modern HDMI TV. The official Atari 7800+ console with wireless controller is normally $130, but at the moment, Amazon has the system bundle going for just $101.
