For any of the younger generation (especially those who've grown up not experiencing technology such as the cathode ray tube) emulators may be the only way in which they'll interact with the Atari classics (And yes quite a few classics licensed to Atari as well).
So this Month we've set up RetoPie 4.4 from scratch. With all the hard work done by the retroPie community this is the sort of project I imagine you could get the kids involved in.
Step one. Wiltronics were able to supply us with the basics to start. And at a modest price we were able to purchase a Raspberry Pi Model B+, a 2.5 AMP power supply (neccessary to power this 1.4GHz beast) and a 16GB Micro SD Card to get us started
With initial support from Gra and an Internet connection (Essential), it was on to setting up the Micro SD Card for use with the Pi...
There's more to come, including playing classic games that use the Atari's STA (siamese twin analog) controllers...
