Description
The Atari 800 XL-tan is an odd entity, only barely considered a console-tan by most standards. While the Atari 2600-tan is very well-known as one of the earliest second-generation girls, the 800 XL and her family of numbered sisters were designed primarily to be household servants. The 800 XL includes a magnetic resonance unit, which allows her to interact with the brainwaves of her master, but has a very low number of simple scenarios. Instead, most of her scenarios have to be generated by the owner themselves, in a long and difficult to learn process of programming that was repeated in many other "secondary console-tans". She was not the most powerful of her group of console-tans, but because of her middle of the road abilities and price tag, she is one of the better known and more loved of them. Because of her programmable tendencies, her personality tends to shape more dramatically than other console-tans, and her built-in personality is rather plain, though that usually changes rather quickly. It's not likely you'll see her in the hands of anyone other than a collector nowadays, and her difficult repairs make it even less likely.
