Atari XE Game System

Atari 8-bit · 1987

A 65XE dressed as a console: a detachable keyboard, a light gun and a cartridge bundle, sold in 1987 to compete with the NES using hardware from 1979. It did not work, but the styling is unlike anything else and it is a complete Atari 8-bit computer underneath, keyboard and all. Collected for the look as much as the machine.
