The crew behind the Ataribox on IndieGoGo (Kickstarter) last Thursday should have started with their crowdfunding campaign, as it seems, that has been postponed until further notice as noted on the kickstarter page. Exactly why that is, the company did not disclose.
The unit is making a lot of oldsters and aficionados hearts beats faster when the initial announcement was made back in the summer. Preorder should have started today with a delivery 'late spring 2018', however, the countdown on the Indiegogo page has stopped and yeah .. nothing. It is mentioned that more information will be posted later, reports tweakers. Unknown is the exact price for the unit, as well as the actual games that would be included. Herein might be the problem, copyright-wise. The Ataribox is estimated to cost somewhere between 249 and 299 dollars.
The Ataribox can be seen a bit as a steam box, you can play a number of classic Atari games. The Ataribox would make use of a custom AMD processor with Radeon graphics. The console should be running a customized version of Linux. The Ataribox would be capable of music and video streaming as well as running apps and web browsing. The device is styled after the Atari 2600 from 1977.
