It does sound funny, I'll admit. But the 2600 is a complex and strange piece of hardware. Further, 2600 games sometimes pushed the hardware in unusual ways which requires utmost accuracy with the emulation. The end result is that Stella (the world's premier 2600 emulator) can push fairly modest...

Stock firmware is 720p, but beta firmware has pushed that to 1080p and the developers are hopeful that they'll be able to include that in an official firmware update soon. There's some bottlenecks with some of the more intensive 2600 games that can cause some missed frames that they're working...

Just as a quick tip, if you find that Moon Patrol lacks the background music that you may remember, just slide the left difficulty switch. Quite a few folks never realized that it serves as a mute button for the music (which also is the case with Phoenix, another great coinop port from Atari...

Stella outputs a rock solid 60 hz picture (the premier 2600 emulator, which Atari is using here). Games that don't run at an exact 60 hz (of which the 2600 has plenty of in NTSC land) are frame interpolated to get them to 60 fps. People are having good luck resolving the issue of sprites...

Original joysticks and paddles are indeed compatible (as are those made for Legacy Engineering's Atari Flashback 2 that used a 100% accurate 2600-on-a-chip IC and then all the AtGames emulation based Flashbacks afterwards). I'm unsure though if the old trick of using a Genesis gamepad still...

No, the paddles don't go 360 degrees. There's a physical lock each way to stop movement just like the originals from 1977. If I had to take a shot at estimating it, I'd say that 2600 paddle controllers spin roughly 300 degrees which has been replicated here (as well as in past AtGames replicas...

Seems that Atari SA and Koch Media/Plaion values retailers like Amazon over customers that preordered direct from them. I'm not sure of the sense in that, but you're not alone in getting that message. :( There's been some other Atari 2600+ news recently. They're showing off a prototype of a new...

The Atari 2600+ is indeed relying on software emulation, powered using the latest version of the respected Stella emulator. What they're using for Atari 7800 emulation remains to be confirmed. The Gamestation Pro supports adding your own roms via SD card. Confirmed to work so far are 2600...

I'm also going to pick one up along with the paddle controller bundle. Also planning on getting the My Arcade Atari Gamestation Pro (some interesting classic Atari arcade games that haven't appeared in compilations before sealed the deal for me in the game list reveal earlier today).
