This Raspberry Pi retro gaming kit comes with 100 licensed Atari games

Note: while this system is mostly 2600 games (I assume it had more first party games & those were the easy ones to get legal rights for), it also has around a dozen each of coinOp arcade games, and Atari 7800 games.

I didn’t see a list. I think this is primarily a nostalgia product. If you loved Star Raiders on the 2600 as a kid, it is not likely to captivate you the same way as an adult, but would still be worth some play time. Even if only to remind you how crappy the graphics and sound really were. I think the CoinOp games include Red Baron which was as far as I know the first CoinOp 3D game (and came out long before “home” 3D games did). So it could have some value to a video game historian (although I assume a video game historian has easy access to unlicensed versions of everything in this product and far more).

I think if you had one of these systems in the 1980s and remember it fondly it is definitely worth the $30 for the software only (bring you own RPi) version if you already have an RPi. If you don’t have an RPi it may or may not be worth the $100 version (which includes the one generation old RPi3+ otherwise this bundle would even be so-so for someone who just wanted an RPi, power supply, case, SD card, and intended to play the games for a day or three and then use the RPi for other things)
