Again. Welcome back to the Atari 8 bit world of computing. The powerful Atari 400 set a new standard of capability with its release in 1979, and along with its subsequent models, has been loved by gamers and computer enthusiasts for decades. Now Retro Games and Atari have collaborated to create THE400 Mini. A half-sized version of the distinctively styled Atari 400, emulating the whole 8-bit Atari range from the 400 to the 800XL, and the Atari 5200 home console. Also included is a recreation of the classic Atari CX40 joystick, with an additional seven seamlessly integrated function buttons. Play one of the 25 built-in games, including: Lee, Berzerk, Millipede, Miner 2049er, M.U.L.E, Star Raiders II, and save your progress at any point in one of four save slots per game, or even pause and rewind gameplay to help you through the most difficult parts - a feature new to THE400 Mini. The multi-region THE400 Mini features HD visuals output via HDMI and with five USB ports, you can connect additional controllers or a standard PC keyboard. And as with all Retro Games releases you are free to play content you own via a USB flash drive, and learn to program in BASIC. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or a newcomer to the world of retro computing, THE400 Mini has something to offer. Review: A great 8bit Atari tribute. - I have original Atari 8 and 16bit hardware but this is perfect for plug and play use in the 20’s. The pick up and play nature of the system is generally good but the control system and interface is a bit clunky and could be better. Most mini systems are pretty intuitive but the 400 mini is less so and takes a bit of work plus some of the games you are able to download yourself and add through SD card take a bit of tweaking to run- adding basic on some games helps, putting it into 130XE mode also. In fairness these issues are also present on Retro Games highly successful and otherwise wonderful A500 Amiga mini too. The 8bit Atari systems are somewhat undervalued in the UK apart from a dedicated hardcore following -this new machine throws a wonderful light onto a computer line that revolutionised gaming - the original system appeared in 1979 and was way way ahead of its time- it took the Commodore 64 to appear in 1982 before a system of comparable power was on the market. I’m going to 5 star it but feel that the beginner may need to watch a few YouTube tutorials to get the most out of it. Given the quality of the games and the Atari 8bit line in general I think that it’s well worth the effort. Review: Pretty much near perfect. - Under the hood, it seems to be something like a raspberry pi Or a 5 V powered nano computer with 25 built-in Atari cartridges. The price is reasonable at a penny under £100, considering that it is five Atari consoles in one , the entire range. Oh, one thing to note don’t be like me and spend five minutes scratching your head over why you can’t set up the initial set up because it doesn’t seem to obey the joystick directions that you push the stick iin. I thought the joystick was broken, But what the little startup booklet doesn’t Obvious is that the Atari joystick remake is an improvement on the original because The dotted line around the joystick with the up down left right markers are buttons! D’oh! It is powered by a British ARM processor With 128 Mb of storage memory more than enough for plenty of cartridges. The 30 second rewind function is genius Along with the ability to save your games. The Minoi400 I would say is not even a microcomputer In fact, it is a nano computer, No larger than a paperback and later than an iPhone 14. Upon opening the box, it may surprise you to find how dinky and cute it is. In fact, inside the case, they had to add four small weights to give it a little bit of heft. In order to play other cartridges aside from the 25 that are built in you will need to put them on a fat 32 format thumb drive. One thing you might want to do is remap a control or two in case you accidentally press one of the buttons that resets the game I did this several times with star Raiders two until I realised I was pressing the right direction button on the joystick By accident. Emulation is flawless. Buy with confidence. This little unit will replace all of your Atari consoles and you can sell all of the others because this one is ALL of them. This thing doesn’t even run warm it’s barely lukewarm. its processor has a passive heat sink. I noticed no problems, no glitches no slowdowns nothing. I am thinking very hard of something, but I don’t like about it, but I can’t think of anything. Nothing is ever perfect but this is pretty close hence the four stars. I’m not giving it five because there must be something about it that I’ve missed out is a quirk or a niggle but I struggle to think of one. ## Features - Emulates all Atari 8-bit systems, from the 400 through to the 800XL, including the Atari 5200 Home Console - Multi region 720 HD output via HDMI, with PAL (50Hz) and NTSC (60Hz) compatibility.

This is very much the same as what you would expect from their other retro products which I also have. The 64 Mini and Maxi, and the 500 Mini. I had an Atari 800 XL and I would have preferred that style of case but this one is actually growing on me. The build quality is good and the provided joystick is excellent. I had concerns about accidentally pressing the additional buttons as mentioned in other reviews but honestly it hasn't been an issue at all for me. I only had success playing 800/XL games from the USB. 2600 games were hit and miss. 7800 wouldn't even show up the files and 5200, though showing, would not run and go straight to the notepad. There may be workarounds or the community may provide fixes. I've more or less got this just for collection. Playing from USB is not perfect at the moment but that could change with updates or patches. For me, it's just about adding to my collection and being on display . It's not my go to console but the controller is great and responsive and I have had fun with the games that I have played. Mr. Do and Bruce Lee were my games of the time but I've played them too much and not much of a challenge as they once were. The only game I have never completed and still find difficult is Manic Miner on the ZX Spectrum, maybe one day I will do it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Retro Games THE400 Mini - Atari 2600 Plus (Exclusive to Amazon.co.uk) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/600091823-retro-games-the400-mini](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/600091823-retro-games-the400-mini) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
