Is the ATARI 2600+ for You? Opening & Deep Dive! @GAMECLOSET

Uploaded November 2023 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

The ATARI 2600+ (ATARI 2600 PLUS) is finally here and Game Closet is going extremely in depth with its review. The kiddie gloves are off and the results of the testing my not be what you were expecting from Atari.

There is good and bad, and a comparison to the Hyperkin Retron 77 is also on the table. HDMI on the console is a great contemporary add but is it the saving grace? Let's find out the great things and the flaws together.

*** UPDATE NOTE: After some more testing over the next day... the sound issue I was experiencing has mysteriously disappeared. A ghost in the machine? A recording issue? Who knows. 🤷‍♀

$PS2 Games From HELL — I Found Them in the AVGNs Basement I found a note in a basement. It said help yourself to the fridge, dont touch the Rolling Rocks, and there are some terrible PS2 games next to the console if I want to make a video. The note was signed the nerd. It was not addressed to me specifically. But I was there. The games were there. And a sandwich wasnt going to make itself. What followed was five PS2 racing games so catastrophically bad that they began to affect my personality, my language, and my general disposition toward humanity. The smell didnt help either. Motocross Mania 3. Ford vs. Chevy. DT Racer — which I renamed DP Racer for reasons that will become clear. Super Trucks Racing. And Driven, starring Sylvester Stallone, which is exactly as good as that sounds. Somewhere around game four I performed an exorcism using Atari Pac-Man cartridges. Then an 80s icon showed up to drive me home. Long-time Game Closet viewers will know exactly who. New viewers are in for a surprise. This is part of an ongoing serialized story in the Game Closet universe. You dont need to have seen the previous chapters to enjoy this one — but if you have, there are callbacks that will make you very happy. (AVGN and The Angry Video Game Nerd are properties of James Rolfe and @JamesNintendoNerd. He did not participate in this video in any way — but I thanked him anyway because the man deserves it.) ┄┄ INSIDE THE CLOSET ┄┄ 0:00 Previously on Game Closet 1:28 Welcome to the Nerds House 2:35 Motocross Mania 3 — Bees. Just Bees. 6:00 Something Smells. Its Not the Games. Yet. 7:16 Ford vs. Chevy — Doesnt Know What It Wants to Be 10:08 The House Is Haunted.

Game Closet Faithful Will Know. SPECIAL THANKS TO: • Special thanks to James Rolfe and The Angry Video Game Nerd for years of laughs. • To Mrs. Doctor Scott: you watch the camera, help out when needed and even toss an idea or two at me. Mostly, you are understanding when you hear me giggling in the studio then run and hide because of the insanity I just thought up and just started typing. • Special thanks to Perifractic from Retro Recipes @RetroRecipes for the KITT interior photos, and to Enzo Music @EnzoMusic_de for the Knight Rider theme remixes. • Jon & Ben at R.S.R. in Bowling Green, Ohio. Jon, Thanks for the additional Atari carts for the video- for the second time now!
