Following last year’s well-received revival of the Atari 7800 and 2023’s Atari 2600 hardware reboot, the former king of video games is continuing its streak of reviving classic retro consoles with modern hardware.
Atari is bringing back the Intellivision Sprint, a system that originally competed with the Atari 2600 in the late 1970s and early ’80s, in what was later dubbed the first „console war.“ Though it never eclipsed the Atari 2600 in popularity, it was thought to have sold over 3 million units and was the second most popular console of its generation, with a focus on more technically demanding sports and strategy games.
