Costco is carrying the console for $79. It’s tempting to get it.

      I pre-ordered a Raspberry Pi 5 earlier this year. I am newbie to the Pi devices, but I am fan of Linux (ubuntu, pop os, mint). Retro Pi sounds interesting!

    These kinds of things are typically just a money sink. When was the last time you played an Atari game? How often do you find yourself wanting to play them?

    I bought an Atari Flashbacks for my mother, and she played it one time. The ColecoVision I got her, she played one time, and that was a console she grew up with. Nostalgia alone isn’t enough to really justify buying it, especially if you only use it once and then it collects dust.
