Pre-installed on the Atari 400 Mini, a half-sized version of the Atari 400, are some of the most well-known and significant video games of the time.



With the use of contemporary technology, an accurate 50% scale copy of the original home computer, the Atari 400 has been produced. The The400 Mini comes with the THECXSTICK, an improved, modernized re-creation of the classic CX40 Atari joystick, for gamers who want to recapture the gameplay experiences of the 1970s and 1980s. This new controller is compatible with a variety of platforms and includes seven more smoothly integrated function buttons in addition to USB.

Key characteristics include the Atari 5200 home console and a scaled-down version of the distinctly designed Atari 400, which emulates the entire 8-bit Atari series from the 400 to the 800XL. The tiny also features a recreation of the vintage Atari CX40 joystick, complete with seven more function buttons that are neatly integrated. With a USB stick, players can save, rewind, and side-load their own games.

From the difficult-to-match hues of the original machine to the genuine textures of the plastic chassis and membrane keyboard, the 400 Mini has been painstakingly constructed utilizing contemporary technology. TheCXSTICK, a stand-alone joystick, is also offered for $49.99.
