After much speculation and buzz around what exactly Atari new console would play, the legendary game company has finally removed the veil on its latest venture into the home console market, the Ataribox. Revealing internal details, pictures and even the console’s price, Atari is making sure that fans are ready and ravenous for this new console. Offering a way of playing games that no other home console is currently providing, the Ataribox looks to be an actual competitor in this already cramped market.
First revealed to the public back in June, before this year’s E3, Atari had been dropping more teasers during the course of the summer. In July, the company had even released a “First Look” clip surrounding the design of the console. Today, the company released a newsletter revealing what everyone wanted to know, what kind of games will be on the system. Running on Linux software and sporting a custom-built AMD processor, the Ataribox will be a full PC gaming experience for the living room! The console will not be attached to a dedicated store or launcher and will allow users to customize, use and play whatever they want.
