videotwit Posted July 13, 2001 Share Posted July 13, 2001 I'm not too sure what to think about this article, which was posted on plastic.com. It is titled Atari's Life After Death -- Homebrew Gamers Bring New Life to Atari 2600. Anyone have insight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malix Posted July 13, 2001 Share Posted July 13, 2001 Is that guy serious about the portable vcs??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted July 13, 2001 Share Posted July 13, 2001 Uh, yeah. The VCSp has been around for quite some time now... it's been posted on AtariAge a number of times. I don't have one myself, as I'm a little strapped for cash, but it looks amazingly cool. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parcel Posted July 14, 2001 Share Posted July 14, 2001 How much is one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindfield Posted July 14, 2001 Share Posted July 14, 2001 Around $250 US -- with a small discount if you trade in an old 2600 that Ben can cannibalize for parts to make more VCSp units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Random Terrain Posted July 15, 2001 Share Posted July 15, 2001 Speaking of portables, did you see the "Portable Systems" category at the dmoz? Here's a link: Atari 2600 Category Just click on "Portable Systems" and you will see a handful of portables that are made or that people are working on. While you're there in the Atari 2600 section, how about signing up to edit that category? If you love the Atari 2600 and have a little spare time, why not become an editor? It's easy, just click on "become an editor" at the top of the screen and fill out the form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Random Terrain Posted July 16, 2001 Share Posted July 16, 2001 I'd like to know that too. Does anyone have a portable? How long do the batteries last? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquid_sky Posted July 16, 2001 Share Posted July 16, 2001 I was thinking of getting one, but the guy that makes them quit taking pre-orders and hasent emailed me back, it's been nearly 2 weeks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
