Atari has unveiled the Intellivision Spirit, a modern revival of the iconic 1980s console that once rivalled the Atari 2600. Marking the 45th anniversary of the original Intellivision, the Spirit combines the classic gold-and-black design and distinctive disc-and-keypad controllers with modern upgrades, including wireless functionality, HDMI output, and a USB-A port for library expansion.
