That's going to be a steal for someone with lots of space, a truck, and some time on their hands, even if only half of the stuff is working. Seeing stuff like this REALLY makes me feel old.

Ebony and Ivory live together in perfect harmony side by side on my piano keyboard, oh lord, why can't we? we all know that people are the same wherever you go there is good and bad in everyone we learn to live, we learn to give each other what we need to survive, together alive Ebony and Ivory Live together in perfect harmony Side by side on my piano keyboard, oh lord why don't we?

Under Video/TV Effects, there's a Mode drop-down. Options are Disabled (default) Composite S-Video RGB Bad Adjust Custom I've kept the TV Phosphor and Jitter/Roll Effect at their defaults. Right now, I like "Bad adjust" because it adds some fuzz into the image. Lest you are tempted to call me a hypocrite for enjoying this feature, the thing I like MOST about it is that you can TURN IT OFF and enjoy super crisp graphics, too. All without having a nasty-ass cathode ray tube. I was playing this on my silly little plastic blue basically-a-toy HP Stream laptop. Retron 77 will have scanlines, because every oldies product does that. I doubt it will be as nice as this, though.

Getting attention -- just like Coleco Scameleon!

A game with meaningful progress that you could play for a long time, that saved your work along the way. Yeah, I'm asking for iterative endless runners like Temple Run on VCS. That way, not everything is a self-contained high score contest.

Here's all the video you need.

It's all in the lighting. Everything's sexy in the dark. This is the AtariBox in the harsh light of day.

MESS has 7800 inside. http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Atari_7800

I knew you'd say that.

If there's anything interesting inside, can you recap? Take one for the team? Two of them have talking over the images we've already seen, including images of "Atari"'s email. And then there's this happy young fella. See also "are you tubers ruining retro gaming."

Delaney Digital Atari design, shamelessly ripped from http://www.delaneydigital.com/portfolios/atari-console-concept/(which has higher resolution close-ups) as these things have a way of disappearing when lawyers come knocking.

Good catch. I was looking for him, too. Small correction: Delaney digital dot NET is in Hong Kong. Delaney digital dot COM is our guy: http://www.delaneydigital.com and he's got a +44 dialing code, which puts him in the United Kingdom.

Ah, yes I see ... they've aligned them with the release dates of the big consoles. Doing that puts them in a larger context, but it's completely useless here. "Hardly comprehensive" is very generous -- this isn't even a rough draft of all the dedicated systems out there. If anyone cares, this site has enough material to fill out the page. Alas, I do not care enough to do that. :-) Atari Flashback 1, 2, and 3 are completely different technology. Atari Flashback 3, 4, 64, 5, and 6 are almost identical to one another, except for the games onboard. They don't list 7 or the upcoming 8 or 8 Gold. NES and SNES Classics are likely very similar hardware. SNES Classic isn't out yet. I'd put all the AtGames machines (including the absent SEGA clones) in the same category as the Nintendo PnPs, "modern ARM devices emulating old games." RetroPie too.

I had fake woodgrain on my Xbox 360. I think I've gotten that particular thing out of my system. I wonder how many diehards are left?

I'm waaaaaaay more casual about my Atari playin' than you guys, but I really like the video options in Stella 5.0 that make it look like a janky old television.

That's a nice collection, it includes everything I would want to play. You're going to get some $$$ for this, excellent timing I think.

Not sure where you're looking, as Flashback isn't in this list. I'm with Keatah, it's the technology that matters, not the release date. And even in the case of the Flashback units, those things are using modern system-on-a-chip technology, they aren't faithful reproductions of the physical boards and chips from 1977. The guts of an Atari Flashback are about the size of a pack of gun. This is a Flashback and here's a vintage Atari from iFixit A technician from the 1970s/1980s would be baffled by the miniaturization of the modern hardware. I think "generations" aren't particularly useful, unless you're narrowly focused on a specific era. Just like "generations" of car releases. Yes, it's interesting to a Subaru enthusiast to note the 5 distinct iterations of the Impreza, but compared to the fins and gills of a 1950s car, it's just splitting hairs. Hey, check it out, there's a very clear image of the FB5 board posted by me, almost 3 years ago. I should play with that thing more often.

They're 3D software renders. Not Photoshop, but you're on the right track, they very likely don't exist in the real world yet. Interestingly, Kickstarter frowns on using pictures like these, because they're confusing to people and suggest the item is further along than it actually is.

That's pretty funny. Like other wannabes lately, doing as well as the Ouya is a BEST CASE scenario. Despite its failure as a product and platform, at least it came out. It also received a crap-ton of user-generated software. Yes, most of it was crap, but the same could be said of the VCS, NES, or other "classic" libraries. Read my spirited defense of the thing here. Holy d-pads, the "O-Rank" list is still up. Retro still figures big in the top 20. 4. Playstation 6. GameBoy Advance 7. Super Nintendo 11. Nintendo 15. Sega Genesis/Sega CD/Master System 18. Another World (a.k.a. Out of This World)

THAT is the secret sauce that "Atari" needs. Problem is, you can't manufacture viral stuff like that! And it's not coming from the "community," I'm afraid.

Kotaku has an update, too. Some people are piling on in the comments for the author's "hate" (or flippancy, or dismissal) in the "whatever that is" headline. Seems appropriate to me. I'm not sure what they're going for here but it's about as exciting as this I suppose the red logo is in fashion now, like the hideous "gamer laptops" used by frat boys nowadays and the orange highlights just scream "2008 Sega Genesis AtGames Gopher Firecore Handheld" to me. That thing played some GAMES, man. Pro tip: it's 2017. Stop putting the controller ports on the back, dummy Atari.

You've plugged it into power, right? It needs its own plug. It's kind of a no-win situation ...even if you get it working, you're stuck with Vid Grid, Blue Lightning, Baldies, Highlander ...

It gets bigger every day. People who were six years old when the N64 came out are young adults now. The Game Boy Advance is 16 years old. There's nostalgia for Pokémon, Halo, and Crash Bandicoot. Someone is buying up all those Square JRPGs. If it weren't fueled by EBay and YouTube, information and goods would be exchanged in other ways.

Same here -- I get them from amazon sellers, and I don't feel particularly strongly either way about leaving feedback. It's cheap to send email but it's even easier to ignore them. I get so many emails I can't bother to get overly bent out of shape about them. I'd block em if they're annoying, ignore them if it seems like a one time thing.

I don't think you can prove that youtube exposure has expanded the popularity of retro gaming. Seems to me it's equally likely that the popularity of retro gaming has fueled the rise of YouTube. This thread has gotten way more contentious than I ever would have thought possible. Much bickering! Why haven't we seen more classic-style gaming ON YouTube as a platform? It would be great for "choose your own adventure" or Dragon's Lair type gameplay. So many old CD-ROM games would shine on the web. I wish someone would "remaster" Spaceship Warlock for HTML streaming.
