I have Stella Gets A New Brain somewhere ...and whatever came in the Supercharger box, which was Phaser Patrol I think. I am wondering if I should have taken better care of this stuff.

Clearly, I'm an idiot and you're a genius. I bow to the most amazing Jaguar programmer of this 21st century. Use your great powers for good.

In updating the info for the top post, I noticed that AtGames is no longer mentioning bundled vintage-style paddles in the Activision Gold box. Can you clarify?

It's easy when you're just writing gobbledegook for your college marketing class. I'm reminded of the Chameleon cartoon that said, "Yeah, sure, it will do that, whatever. Just buy it."

The answer, of course, is "whatever the market will bear." For $200 shipped I would want a multicart included, but that's just me ... I gave up my monster humming Vectrex years ago and make do with Vectrex Regeneration.

Any progress on this? BTW I think Skeleton is super rad!

It sounds like they ditched their proprietary emulators from 2009 and tried to bundle everything into Unity, which would make it easier to port to other platforms. Why this got out of QA as is remains a mystery.

I think that's what Cardillo was going for, in his incompetent kind of way. The difference being that IKEA is a well-loved international manufacturer that produces items of value, and Coleco is a minor vintage trademark troll with delusions of grandeur.

Ah. It's too bad 3-d printed stuff still looks like ass, because otherwise this is pretty cute.

I don't think the Jag is swimming in anything ... if there were a market for something like that, surely someone would have tapped it by now?

I'm pretty sure they're pre-cut.

I guess there's a tiny bit of blue label in the Activision one, can I change my guess?

If it were AtGames, they'd just have ports on the side.

Personally, I think the North American SNES is butt-ugly, but I understand people are nostalgic for it. I like the European one better. You could always get a sticker sheet for the official Pi case.

Reminds me of this smart fella I would think there will be a minor flood of them on eBay as the Jagu-fans start to die off.

I've updated the top post with all the relevant information I know about. PM me if I forgot anything! The more I look at the improvements and new capabilities added to this product line, the happier I am.

Maybe some of them bought multiple spaces. Or Cardillo working to lie, cheat, step on peoples's feet. Probably double-dippers, though.

Maybe, depending on the investors. I know that as a young teen fan, even *I* thought console gaming was dead back then. I wish I could find the Nolan Bushnell quote where he said that he wished he had held on to Atari longer but sold Chuck E Cheese sooner.

You might be right -- I just think it's silly to have moving parts or bits that are easily broken off in a device like this. I find it odd that they were so keen on replicating the look of the old SNES controller ports they would make a flap door for them. The NES Classic could have had a flip-open lid (and it looks like it should), but they didn't. Nintendo is unpredictable, that's for sure.

LOL yeah! There's also a button to unlock Donkey along Country 2 and 3 in there, and a code for $100 off a Nintendo Switch. Void where prohibited, some restrictions apply.

I'd buy a green Atari. Sustainable would be great but I'm talking about green plastic, like the candy colored N64s from the late 1990's Bondi Blue iMac era. Bring it on!

Zzip, I also think your Warner scenario is unrealistic -- I doubt they'd pay through the nose to keep a failing dovision afloat. Then again, they'd buy AOL for $160B a decade later, so who knows what kind of bonkers things would happen? Maybe if they still had Atari, their investors would have lost their appetite for crazy investment schemes, and they'd be an even bigger media force than they are today. It's only because of Microsoft's willingness to lose massive amounts of cash over many years that we have an Xbox division, the biggest game hardware maker in the west. It takes serious cash to play in this space.

Tanooki -- justify it however you like (I do the same kind of thing in my head), but these are roms in a box with nice controllers. :-) Schizo -- we'll likely never know Nintendo's reasoning. Most (but not all) of the SNES games available on 3DS are in the Mini. I'm through trying to guess what they'll do next.
