Retro Timber Gaming Systems

The Atari 2600 VCS System is for the Avid Vintage Gamer

— March 19, 2013 — Tech
It's often difficult for hardcore gamers to depart from any of their gaming consoles no matter how obsolete the controls and graphics may be. The Atari 2600 VCS Portable is a commemoration to all old school Atari fans out there, who've spent countless hours in their parents' basement trying to reclaim that Enchanted Chalice in Adventure, avoiding all those pitfalls and getting all those fruit drops at the maze.

This portable wooden game system comes with a few new features that the old system didn't offer, such as a pause function to help out less seasoned gamers. This vintage system lets players use their old Atari 2600 games, so if you have an old 'Adventure' title lying around, now is the perfect time to indulge in those nostalgic games.

1. Retro Gaming Revival - There is a resurgence in demand for vintage gaming consoles and accessories among nostalgic gamers, creating opportunities for businesses to innovate and modernize retro gaming products.
2. Portable Gaming Systems - The trend towards portable gaming systems is growing, and businesses have the opportunity to develop more compact, portable versions of classic gaming consoles.
3. Upcycling and Sustainable Design - As consumers become more environmentally conscious, there is a growing trend towards upcycling and sustainable design, making it an ideal opportunity for game console makers to create products that are both functional and eco-friendly.
Industry Implications
