Features

The Atari 2600+ is an updated version of the iconic Atari 2600 and has been enhanced in the following ways:

- Plays both Atari 2600 and 7800 game cartridges
- HDMI output makes it easy to connect
- Widescreen mode
- Enlarged cartridge socket reduces sticking
- Atari logo lights up when being played

The system comes with a CX40+ Joystick which has been lovingly recreated to the same specifications as the original, and a 10-in-1 game cartridge featuring some of Atari’s most famous games: Adventure®, Combat®, Dodge 'Em™, Haunted House®, Maze Craze™, Missile Command®, RealSports® Volleyball, Surround™, Video Pinball™, Yars' Revenge®.
I caught the tail end of the 2600 and missed the 7800 entirely. I could play a few of the games for a bit but don't have the nostalgia to spend $130 for this, but I could see where there might be some market for it.
To me, you are the teacher in the Charlie Brown cartoon.

I mean, I'm not entirely averse to it, but...like, they just released that huge Atari compilation last year for thirty, forty bucks.

Seems like a neat little novelty at least.
Does also kind of remind me that someone made a homebrew Atari 7800 game called Rikki & Vikki

It's sorta neat but would it have killed them to include more games with it?
