The LEGO Atari 2600 is a perfect tribute to retro gaming, and it's on sale for Cyber Monday
27.11.2023 - 19:45 / gamesradar.com / And It
I'm 40 years old (that's somewhere around 260 in gamer years) which means I grew up in the '80s and '90s, the height of what we now call retro-gaming. And I've got my bona fides - I grew up playing a classic old school Atari console, much like the Atari 2600 that LEGO has recreated as a building set complete with cartridges, controllers, and even some buildable characters from some of the most iconic Atari games, which is currently on sale for Cyber Monday.
Usually listed at $239.99 USD, the LEGO Atari 2600 building set is currently on sale for $191.99, a discount of $48. The 2600, which launched in 1977, was Atari's first home console, and set the stage for decades of gaming to follow. Some of its most beloved games include Centipede, Adventure, and Asteroids - all three of which also get some love as inclusions in the LEGO Atari 2600 building set.
Not only are there LEGO versions of the Centipede, Adventure, and Asteroids game cartridges available in the set, there are also three extra smaller builds included which recreate scenes from the games. And they all look fantastic alongside the main building set, which presents a full-on recreation of an Atari 2600 as the platform for a scene of someone having a great time playing Atari themselves.
All in all, the LEGO Atari 2600 building set makes for a perfect tribute to the earliest era of home gaming. Whether you grew up playing an Atari or you're a fan of the roots of video games, or even just a fan of really cool LEGO sets, this one is a unique and visually exciting addition to your collection or home display.

This case made my first PC build super easy and it's on sale for Cyber Monday
Before Cyber Monday deals disappear for another year, let me tell you about one of the coolest bits of hardware I tested in 2023. During the Summer, I took on the task of building my very first gaming PC from scratch. Now, for a Hardware Editor, that felt like a right of passage, but it didn't make the idea any less daunting. What made things even scarier was the fact that I decided to do things the hard way, and build a small form factor gaming PC.

I use these gaming earbuds almost every day, and they're stupidly cheap for Cyber Monday
The wireless earbud market is pretty competitive, especially when Cyber Monday deals roll around. It doesn't help that there are loads of big brands out there that all dominate the marketing side of things. I used to swear by Samsung's Galaxy Buds since I've always used their partner phones, but this year I've been testing a set of buds that have convinced me never to waste my money on Samsung's overpriced buds again.
