Kinda, yeah. I mean I don't really identify myself as a "retro gamer" but I've got an Atari with a bunch of games and a newfangled TV. Every once and again I think it'd be fun to hook it up, but there's no easy way to get it working without buying some doohickey. In this case if the doohickey is the machine, and it can use the OG controllers & games, that's certainly appealing. Maybe a steep price for it, but definitely appealing.
