The prime feature of this console was its backwards compatibility with Atari 2600 games. It flopped in-part due to its launch being shelved for 2 years, after Atari was acquired by another company. Planned features were never released, including high-score saving cartridge. Although very capable in visuals, the sound was poor. Atari placed sound processors on-cartridge, then barely released any games with them. Its games were computer inspired, as Atari had a hard time convincing third-party companies to produce games. It's controller has a thumb-joystick.
