I mean the Atari 800 is awesome.
I get S-Video out of it (with an adapter).
There is FOUR joystick ports.
It has SIO, which is essentially USB v0.1.
There's TWO cartridge slots.
Four-channel sound.
It's built like a tank, it survived my eBay seller's "we don't need no packing material" packing job without a scratch.
128 colors.
All in 1979.

@thomasfuchs You have destroyed me.
I grew up coding Atari Basic but I never knew it had named GOTO goals.
@thomasfuchs neither was POKEY :P
