17 hours ago, UKMike said:Sorry, not sorry, but it's time to post in this thread again.
The Kickstarter for the book - Smoke And Mirrors: The Rise And Fall OF A Serial Antipreneur is now live.
Congratulations on finishing the book, @UKMike! I could scarcely believe it when I saw a flurry of posts in this crazy old thread. I hope there are lots of original artifacts in there. It was fun to follow the exploits of this doomed project from the outside, so I can only imagine the nonsense that didn't make it into print.
This is the best part from a buyer's/backer's perspective:
QuoteRisks and challenges
There is no risk as the book is fully written and proof read. A lawyer has been chosen and fees negotiated. Once funded, the lawyer will confirm any edits needed and the final manuscript can be submitted for publication. A publisher has been chosen and fees negotiated. Everything is in place to bring this book to the general public.
I hope you hit your goals and I look forward to consuming this tome. 600 pages!

Atari Vs. RageOn (t-shirt maker) is over. Atari wins default judgment (defendant didn't show up) of $800,000. Now they get to try and collect that from a company that probably isn't in the shape to deliver.

Hey has anyone seen their latest financial report? I thought this is when they usually come out.
They had a press release about their Token gimmick a few days ago. It was a good move not to post it on April 1.
“We have always indicated that this blockchain project was a long term project by its nature. This first private presale campaign is a major milestone, and we are particularly pleased to launch with our partner ICICB”, added Frédéric Chesnais, CEO of Atari. “A new phase is starting for the ambitions of Atari to establish the Atari Token as a reference crypto-currency in our domain of interactive entertainment, and we will continue working on achieving the widest utilization possible for the Atari Token.“-

I like the old Macs but don't think there's enough discussion or experience on here to justify a dedicated section for them. I could count the annual number of topics on one hand.
Lowendmac is still the best source for help and advice with old Mac hardware, and Macintoshgarden has the software side nicely covered.
I understand and appreciate the impulse to find another home for the classic Mac scene, but I don't think this is the place you're looking for.

^^ I'm like this, too. Early Saturn adopter and have no problem with the price. It will go on sale before long for those who want to wait, but I wanted it now.

Thank goodness I resisted the Square Enix sale on Switch. There's no way I can play thru all those 30 hour games, half price or not.

11 minutes ago, Shaggy the Atarian said:why on earth would you not be slapping "COMING TO THE ATARI VCS!" on there first and foremost if you have an awesome new console headed everyone's way sometime this year?
the answer is secret
because they do not have an awesome new console
and it's not headed everyone's way anytime soon
and there are many, many, MANY more potential paying customers on existing platforms

3 minutes ago, Nathan Strum said:So, this is clearly an exclusive launch title for the AtariBox, right?
Right.
Sure, as long as you install Windows on it. Oh, and you would actually need to receive an AtariBox to run it.
The Steam wishlist page is up, including system specs. It's tiny, and can run on a potato. I expect a mobile release before long, but PC/consoles have more prestige nowadays. Or as they say, "no balls, no problem!"
This is the kind of ridiculous game I enjoy. I'll give it a spin when it goes on sale for a dollar or two.
No balls, no problem!

TWO finance-related Atari press releases today, ahead of some almost certainly awful fiscal reports.
ATARI: Redemption of the OCEANE 2003-2020 maturing on April 1, 2020
Seems to be some old bond from one of their bankruptcies.
QuoteFollowing this redemption, the Atari Group no longer has any financial debt, excluding leases
and
Sounds like some kind of Roblox-type virtual world, combined with their oh-so-gimmicky blockchain promises. Get psyched! or not.
QuoteUnder Atari’s partnership with Animoca Brands and TSB Gaming Ltd, 3D voxelized versions of Atari’s classic and most popular gaming properties will be made available in The Sandbox when the game launches to the public later this year. Atari-inspired “ASSETs” (persistent metaverse objects) will also be available within The Sandbox for use throughout the entire platform by players and even creators in their very own metaverse games. The Sandbox will also be home to the first Atari theme park on the blockchain — Atari LAND! This virtual creation will feature Atari-themed attractions, creations, and immersive social gaming experiences.
ATARI VCS is still "Managing the Unexpected," of course. We didn't expect the global pandemic, but we kinda did expect this

And if you buy the iOS version, it's got a nice AppleTV version as well. Those are unique little games and I'm pleased that SquareEnix has kept them up to date and in the store.

Nice list of premium games reduced to free in this time of emergency.

Agreed that it means BROKEN.
You could always buy it, test it, and if it doesn't work, send it back at the seller's expense if you wanted to teach them a rude lesson about not selling broken crap on eBay.
They can say "no refunds" but eBay will stand behind the buyer. This has happened to me as both buyer and seller enough that I won't put anything up for auction that I wouldn't want myself.

I'm pretty gentle with my stuff and the controls have been fine, but that battery has got to have a limited lifespan. Replacing it looks like a hassle.

It has nothing to do with the Macintosh. It's a II with some extra stuff on it.
The Atari 7800 is its own thing, but it can run 2600 software. It is not, however, an Atari Jaguar.

So far it's much prettier than the Saturn original and plays well. Besides the longish loading screens, I haven't seen anything that crashed or seemed bugged. I haven't spent a lot of time with it but it seems yummy so far.

@cimerians thanks for the word on RAID. I am of the opinion that if something earns my time, it can have some of my money.
My game of choice for this style of character collector is Star Trek Timelines. In many years into it so it's hard to start another thing like it. Star Wars Heroes should do it but it's not as fun for me somehow.

@digdugnate I know the feeling -- I still prefer my phone, but Switch is pretty great too. They're two great tastes that taste great together.
TouchArcade has a regular SwitchArcade roundup which covers my interests nicely. Shaun is well versed in retro and has excellent taste in games. Info on sales, too.
