The Ataribox is going to start its crowdfunding campaign on December 14. I wish I could say I was excited.

I am interested in this machine. Atari’s first system in decades will be part-retro box, similar to the NES Classic Edition, and part-modern console. It will come with built-in classic Atari games, but it will also have an AMD custom processor with Radeon graphics that will help it run some of today’s games, focusing on indies.
