Atari 2600 upgraded to PC level

One of the fans of retro computers has updated its old Atari 2600 game console with a new hardware. Popular in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the game console on cartridges was re-equipped into a modern desktop computer.

The new iteration of the Atari 2600 has the following components: 3.7 GHz Core i7 processor, eight GB of random access memory, 120 GB of internal memory (solid state drive) and a Radeon HD 6570 graphics card with 1 GB of memory. The game console has support for USB 3.0 and 2.0 interfaces, as well as eSATA, DisplayPort, DVI and HDMI connectors.

On the case of the Atari 2600 emblazoned the signature of Nolan Bushnell himself (Nolan Bushnell), the founder of the company Atari. Unfortunately, the updated game console from the 70s is not intended for sale.
