The Free Arcade Token promotion is back! Same rules as last year. Find the secret word on the web site, send in your mailing address, get a token in the mail. (or in this case THREE!)
This year they have 3 new tokens. Copper, Red Brass, and Emerald Green. Each token is made for a different event. The first is for E3 Expo, the second is for Comic Con 2012, and the 3rd is for the Classic Gaming Expo 2012. The mail-away is the only way to get all three without attending the events. All three tokens are limited to 1000 units each.
There is also an early bird special. The first 55 people will get all 5 collectible tokens.
There is also a crazy bonus attatched to the lucky Emerald Green Token.
It also will grant the owner special access to our Emerald Token Club. This will allow the owner early access to future tokens, the ability to vote on new token designs, contest bonuses, and other secret privileges that are yet to be revealed!

After I get all copies of Boulder Dash 2600 shipped, I'm going to put together a large run of Halo 2600 carts, with manuals and boxes for those who want them.
..Al
Please add me to the list of interested parties. Thank you very much.

I'm very happy someone is celebrating this historic event. Maybe we'll see some more surprises at CGE 2012?
Put me down for a cart if / when these become available. Thanks.

I would also like a set. This is a great collection!
-
Thank you Jack Tramiel. I'll be playing a C64 marathon in your honor.

I'm not in this for the money. I'm in this for the pure joy.
I wouldn't care if the whole market tanked, that would just make it easier and cheaper for me to buy stuff.

There was no video game crash. It was all press hype.

Slim Sixer.
I prefer the body lines over the heavy sixer. Sunnyvale is still a beautiful system though, it's all curvy and thick, like a 1970s Stingray, or a 1970s Playboy Model.
I love having six silver switches. (say that 5 times.)

Is this an OpenBOR mod?
This game looks fantastic. Great use of sound, especially the old TV show music. Perfectly timed.

Let's talk about this for a moment.
Would you be open to the idea of an Angry Birds game on the Atari 2600? Do you think the 2600 could support such a game? How would it work? What would it look like? Give me your best speculation on this subject. I'm very interested to hear your replies.
IMO, I think a talented homebrew developer could pull this one off. It might even be really fun too.

The version I played as a child is the best version.

So I talked to some people. According to them the price has yet to be set and the license agreement hasn't even officially been finalized and signed yet. I am not saying this price is wrong, but either someone is lying, giving out bad information, or there is a lot of confusion going on.
My guess was $85 to $100 US.
The "$500 price tag" sounds like a joke on the old AVS pricing.

I would like to see more A8 conversions. I was lucky enough to test a few conversions for a friend last holiday season. It was a rare privilege. I've had little exposure to the Atari 800, so the catalog is all new to me.

This system is one of the most worthless systems out there. Discuss

This is a status update and a plea for help.
I have repeatedly sent messages to SNKplaymore about this product and I still have not received a reply. Usually when I contact this company, as I have done in the past, they are fairly quick about their response. Their silence on this issue is a bit puzzling. I think if it was a hoax they would have just told me flat out.
If you have any information on this product, please contact me. If you know anyone I can speak to, please send me a PM. Thanks very much for your help.
I believe Tommo handles SNK Playmore U.S.A. distribution. You could possibly contact them. http://www.tommo.com
Thanks for all the great info StoneAgeGamer! I have sent a message to Tommo and I am now just waiting for their reply. Hopefully we'll get some good news.

Is the Sega Dreamcast old enough to be considered retro gaming?
I'm curious to see what you think.
-
You know Journey had a different front man for a while. Some guy from the Philippines. He's actually fairly good.
Anyway, he's in his early 40s. I bet he played this game when he was growing up.
Don't stop believing, man.

NSCX.com has this on their website as a HOAX.
That's what people said when the Atari Flashback 3 was revealed.
It would be nice if NSCX.com shared their reasoning with us. When you visit the site there is just a picture of the machine with the word "hoax" above it. Nothing more.
Three things make me think this is a hoax. The original article disappeared from the web quickly, the strange ordering of the L+R triggers, and if you look closely, one of the pics looks shopped when you examine it closely.
I don't agree with the logo missing a "p." I've seen SNK related merch (toys, etc) that still have the old logo. I just think "SNK" looks better on a product than "SNKP" but maybe that's just me.
I actually sent an email to SNK Playmore. They have yet to respond.

The whole device reminds me of the Dingoo.
Although I kinda dig the d-pad, at the same time it seems bad for 2D games and many classic arcade titles. I had the same problem with the Caanoo.

Full English Report HERE.
Original Japanese Report HERE.
According to both sources, the machine comes with 20 built in games (all NA versions), and features SD card support, 2GB memory, and other bells and whistles.
Is this the return of the Neo Geo Pocket? Just look at this thing. Its NGPC: The Next Generation!

I wish I had the skills to create something like this.
-
I am definitely going to attend. I'm thinking about getting a table.
I wonder what surprises Atari Age will have in store for us? And will there be another Retro Gaming Rumble?
I'm bringing lots of money for new homebrew games. And since this is Vegas, gambling money, and cash for coke(-a-cola) and hookers.
