Atari Classics Go Portable with Super Pocket Models Released
The licensed retro gaming business has now entered the handheld market with the addition of two new Super Pocket portable mini-consoles, the Atari and Technos editions. Each model comes with a carefully curated classic game library.
Super Pocket Handhelds
HyperMega Tech launched its first Super Pocket handhelds last year, with two distinct models focused on Capcom and Taito games. The company has now added two new variants to the Super Pocket line, providing officially licensed games developed by Atari and Technos. Each contains games from both home console and arcade markets.
Standard Specifications
The Super Pocket devices come with a 2.8-inch, 320×240 IPS screen, which works in any lighting conditions, with up to four hours of battery life. The Game Boy-inspired design also provides a 3.5-inch headphone jack, a USB-C charging port, a traditional D-pad, and six action buttons.
Atari and Technos Editions
The Super Pocket Atari Edition contains 50 classic games from the legendary US game maker. The portable contains arcade gems like Centipede and Asteroids and several titles from Atari’s various home consoles. The Technos Super Pocket model primarily focuses on arcade games released by the once-famous but now-defunct Japanese studio. The handheld includes 15 highly acclaimed console and arcade titles.
Compatibility and Availability
Like the previously released Capcom and Taito variants, the new Super Pocket models are compatible with Evercade cartridges, expanding each device’s library. HyperMega Tech has multiple game collections on cartridges sold separately. The Atari and Technos Super Pocket handhelds will be available next week through several retailers.
