The Atari Gamestation Go has gone gold! I’m opening Costco’s $199 bundle to check out the gold handheld, matching gamepad, and official carrying case—and compare the package with buying separately. Plus, Atari’s 55th anniversary branding gives us an early taste of 2027, while community firmware and accessories add even more ways to enjoy it. Thanks to My Arcade for providing this bundle for coverage. #retrogaming #atari #handheld #genxgrownup @MyArcaderetro @atari @CostcoTV - LINKS Gold GSG: https://www.costco.com/p/-/atari-gamestation-go-gold-and-atari-gamestation-gamepad-gold-with-travel-case/4201038944 GSG Grip: https://innovative3dshop.etsy.com/listing/4605099784/gamestation-go-snap-on-ergo-comfort Gamepad Grip: https://innovative3dshop.etsy.com/listing/4605300843/myarcade-wireless-gamepad-ergo-comfort Paul's Store: https://innovative3dshop.etsy.com - SHOP Classic GSG: https://link.amazon/B08P9MICE Classic Gamepad: https://link.amazon/B04N5jwvU http://genxgrownup.com/amazon http://GenXGrownUp.com/merch - PODCAST http://GenXGrownUp.com/pod - SUPPORT US https://patreon.com/genxgrownup - WEB & SOCIAL http://GenXGrownUp.com/discord https://twitch.tv/genxgrownup http://fb.me/GenXGrownUp https://bsky.app/profile/genxgrownup.com https://www.tiktok.com/@genxgrownup https://www.instagram.com/genxgrownup/ http://GenXGrownUp.com - SPONSORS Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv - CHAPTERS 00:00 Costco GSG 01:38 Box & Contents 05:17 Carrying Case 05:48 Gamepad 07:50 Hardware Tour 09:20 Old vs. New 10:29 Power On 12:02 Settings & Recharged 13:44 Gameplay 15:22 Conclusion

Atari’s classic 800XL home computer is making a comeback! Newly announced by Atari, THE 800XL from Retro Games Ltd. brings a full-sized mechanical keyboard, a working cartridge slot, and built-in Atari BASIC together with HDMI and modern gaming conveniences. In this announcement editorial, I take a look at what’s been revealed, what stands out, and why bringing back the computer experience makes this more interesting than just another box of retro games. THE 800XL includes 25 built-in games, USB loading for cartridge, disk, and cassette images, and announced software support for Atari’s 400, 800, XL, and XE computers, plus Atari 5200 games. Four save slots per game and up to 30 seconds of rewind bring some modern help to those vintage challenges. U.S. preorders opened October 8, 2026, at $219.99, with shipping scheduled to begin April 23, 2027. The package includes a THECXSTICK joystick. Did you grow up with an Atari computer? And would you use this for games, BASIC programming, or dusting off your old cartridges? Let me know in the comments!
