I did the kickstarter thing for the Atari VCS that shipped over a year late at the start of the pandemic. Biggest disappointment I've had in years. All the classic Atari games that were promised to ship with it had to be downloaded for a fee and all new games developed for it at the time were scammy old cellphone type games. Classic joystick was flimsy as was the xbox clone controller. Both had an inaccessible rechargeable internal battery. Can't play while charging. It's collecting dust now.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racing_the_Beam The Atari 2600, initially branded the VCS (Video Computer System), did not have a video frame buffer and required the programmers to write each line of video to the TV output, one line at a time. As there were only a limited number of machine cycles in which to do this, the programmers were "racing" a high-speed electron beam across the screen.

Mostly cuz the entirety of the programming was on the ROM cart (which had 2-4kb)
