Final Thoughts
Immerse yourself in the iconic world of retro gaming with the Atari Pocket Player Pro.
You have the choice of using batteries or having it plugged in to a power socket. Unfortunately it doesn’t have built in rechargeable batteries, but that’s not a huge issue – just make sure you a way to play, and continue playing.
Along with the on/off switch, you can adjust the brightness and the volume. You can also connect your wired headphones if you want to play without disturbing anyone else.
Holding the Atari Pocket Player Pro was comfortable, even for long gaming periods, and the controls we very responsive.
I love all things Atari – I grew up in the 1970’s and 80’s playing arcade games and the Atari 2600, so Atari was one of the very first gaming systems I ever played on and holds a very special place in my heart. Now I get to share that with my 9 year old son without it being on an app!
The My Arcade Atari Pocket Player Pro is available now priced around £49.99 and would make a great Christmas present for new gamers and old!
