In this interview episode, there are interviews with
two people creating today's Atari hardware: the Atari 400 Mini and
other modern reboots of retro consoles such as the Atari
7800+.
First, an interview with Matthew Burnett, Vice
President of Strategic Operations at Atari — the guy in charge of
Atari's new hardware. We discuss how the Atari 400 Mini came to
market.
Then, I interview Ben Jones, Commercial Director for
Plaion, a manufacturing and distribution company that was involved
with the creation of the 400 Mini and 7800 Plus as well as other
retro computing hardware like the C64 Mini and the A500 (Amiga)
Mini.
These interviews took place on September 27 2024 at
Portland Retro Gaming Expo.
