That looks awesome... I wonder if it emulates 400 software or 800 and up as well. The 400 had memory limitations. A great game to play is Alternate Reality The Dungeon. Expect it probably won't run on an original 400 without upgrading. Needs an 800.

I have an original 400. Was one of the first computers I collected when I was 15. Also have an 800xl and that's one of my favorite computers ever. Atari rules!

Supposedly: Emulates 400, 500, XE, XL, and 5### (can't remember the number)

The system list is: Atari 400, 800, 800XL, 130XE, and 5200.

As this is only an emulator in a nice case I personally prefer an emulator on a normal computer or laptop.  More interesting is the joystick, because that gives a "haptic" experience that can't be emulated in software.
Two is the oddest prime.

I'm thinking about how to frame unusual and thought-provoking questions in the programming community. For example, if a FreeBASIC game uses AI for art, does that change ownership? I want to ensure my questions remain safe and do not promote illegal or harmful activities. An example could be discussing whether a FreeBASIC interpreter should run self-modifying code that bypasses copyright. It's tempting to provoke thought without crossing ethical lines, especially around retro computing or licensing.Exploring playful questions
