Perhaps nothing is more wonderfully nostalgic than Lego sets. Well, aside from maybe retro consoles like the Atari 2600. Now, imagine: combing both into one brilliant package.
On Tuesday, Lego announced the Atari 2600 set. It looks just like the original 1977 console, complete with adjustable joysticks, and even contains buildable cartridges of iconic games such as Asteroids, Centipede, and Adventure. Much more authentic than most weird video game tie-in merch. Wilder still, there are even three tiny dioramas representing each title. For example, the Asteroids miniature shows a spaceship blowing up space rocks. You know, as things should be!
