I was most excited when the Atari 400 mini was announced for pre-ordering. The Atari 8-bit computers are one of my favourite systems (after the Spectravideo & MSX of course), and the original 400 was the very first Atari 8-bit model I saw.
In this video I talk about my history with the Atari 8-bit systems, re-unbox my Atari 400 and of course, play a few games to show what the system can do.
