Anyone get the Pac-Man 2600? I was disappointed. (atari.com)

Maybe I expected too much, but I wanted a 2600 I could plug cartridges into which used HDMI. I like Pac-Man, so this one seemed like what I wanted. But, first cartridge I put in was Adventures of Tron.

It took like 30s or a minute to start up, so it clearly wasn't the normal Atari experience. Then it started on a very high difficulty level and I couldn't change it.

Makes me wonder what the point of it is if it's this bad. Maybe there are HDMI mods for a real Atari I should do instead.

These types of things always seem to be bad. I'd love something modern that I could get an authentic experience with. Disappointing this is another flop. Doesn't seem to be anything that hits the mark.
