Hyperboy Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 Yea but I was wondering where this info came from, Curious if its straight up crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raticon Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Considering that the 5 isnt out yet for another 5-ish months you can guess it yourself. Also mind the date of the post. I have seen that linked by hopeful people earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyperboy Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 Yes, My feeling is its total bullshit but I thought it interesting..Maybe Bill L. can chime in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raticon Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Besides, remember that its AtGames that makes the current flashback line, what do you think about the link mentioning a company called "GetGames" ? There is an equally stupid and lie-ridden bogus link floating around claiming that the next Atari Flashback will have not only a SD-card slot but also cartridge ports for all Atari consoles, the Intellivision, the NES and support all sorts of 3D-features. Together with all the assorted nuttery and lunacy already being claimed about this or that system one quickly learns to be sceptical. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyperboy Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 I though if it was in the internet it must be true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Loguidice Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Yep, as was stated, the 5 is still being finalized, so there has been no thinking around what a 6 will embody other than trying to get additional software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyperboy Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 Thanks Bill, If anyone would know if there was a shred of truth to the story it would be you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raindog Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Why are people still subtle about pointing out April Fool jokes when April 1 was 49 days ago? This thread could have been 2 posts long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariNerd Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 BS, maybe, but wishful BS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onmode-ky Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Thanks Bill, If anyone would know if there was a shred of truth to the story it would be you! Er, that does not compute. Bill L. has a advisory relationship with AtGames, but he has no relationship with the firm whose name was mentioned in the press release, GetGames. They could be working on an Atari Flashback 37.2 at this very moment (a 1:1-scale Atari pinballs compilation!), but Bill would not know about it. . . . Incidentally, the year on that post was 2013. If it had been based on an actual in-the-works product, surely there would have been discussion here at AtariAge in the nearly 14 months since the "announcement"? We might have even heard mainstream news reports about an epidemic of mysteriously euphoric heart attacks among Jaguar fanboys. onmode-ky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
