ReStory Devices — The Full Repair List
ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs is a museum of Y2K hardware you get to take apart. The device catalog spans flip phones, handhelds, music players, digital cameras, home appliances and — the headline act — officially licensed Atari consoles that repair like the real hardware. This guide maps the catalog, how devices unlock, and what to expect from each category. For how repairs work, see the repair mechanics guide; for the unlock system, the licenses guide.
Here's what you'll learn:
- The device categories
- The Atari licensing partnership
- How the catalog unlocks
The Device Categories
| Category | Examples | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Cell phones | Flip phones, Nokia-style units | The game's first repairs; Hashimoto's "Pokia" is the tutorial |
| Handheld consoles | Not-PSP style handhelds | Stand-ins so close to real hardware players swear they're the same |
| Music players | MyPod-style MP3 players | Firmware updates feature here (see the firmware guide) |
| Digital cameras | Early 2000s compacts | Mid-game category |
| Game consoles | Officially licensed Atari 2600, Jaguar | The headline partnership |
| Toys / virtual pets | Tamagotchi-style | Early-game staples |
| Home appliances | Various | Late-game unlocks |
Every device is a period-accurate stand-in: the Not-PSP handheld, Pokia phones, MyPod music players. The one exception is the Atari hardware — that's the real licensed thing, logos and all.
The game's devices are "legally distinct but spiritually exact" — the Shacknews preview noted the Not-PSP could be mistaken for the real thing. That fidelity is the game's signature.
The Atari Partnership
ReStory includes officially licensed Atari hardware — the Atari 2600 and Jaguar among them, per the announcement. This is a real licensing deal (Atari is a credited partner), not a parody: you repair period-accurate consoles with the Atari logo. The launch trailer makes a point of showing an Atari console on the bench, and the review calls it "an extra layer of tactile authenticity."
How the Catalog Unlocks
Devices unlock through the license system — each license opens a device category, and higher licenses unlock the devices that pay more (see the licenses guide). The practical progression:
- Start — phones and virtual pets
- Early licenses — handhelds, music players
- Mid-game — cameras, the Not-PSP
- Late-game — consoles including the Atari hardware
You can also buy devices online to harvest spare parts (the Flipper/Garage Sale achievements track this) — every dead device is a parts catalog waiting to be pulled. See the online orders guide.
