Seeing with all this discussion on this topic, maybe I could share my opinion on how I think a new 2600 handeld system made by Hasbro would be like. Atari would have 2 new consoles, the Cougar and the Jaguar Extreme. The Jaguar Extreme would be a handheld that plays all old Jaguar games and some new ones. Aside from that, the Cougar would be the true super system. It would be playable with all old 2600, 7800 and Lynx games, plus special new ones. Like the old Mystique and Xonox games, the new cartridges, which would be the same size as 2600 cartridges, would be double ended, with 2 games on each side, one 2600, one 7800. Part of the game's label would be on the cart, but the main label would be the Lynx cart. You could snap the Lynx cart in the main cartridge for display and protection The 2600, 7800 and Lynx games would all be the same, in the same box, for only 20 bucks. 3 games for 20 bucks new! What a deal! But a special promotion would allow you to get the same game for the 5200, if you own the Cougar 52000 adapter. For only 5 bucks more, you will get the 5200 version of that game. Main system: The Cougar would be vertically designed, like the Game Boy Color. It would run off 2 rechargable lithium ion AA batteries. The screen would be backlit. The system will include all the buttons on the Lynx, as well as 2600 difficulty switches, color/b&w switch, reset button, and a dial for paddle 2600 games. A lock button would also be included for the paddle. When the lock button is turned off, the paddle controller will become a driving controller for Indy 500! The A button would serve as Fire for playing 2600 games. 2600/7800 games would fit on top of the console, while Lynx games would fit on the bottom. The extension port for the Lynx will be on the Cougar for ComLynx games, plus new accessories and services, including new keypads for the games that use Kids controllers or Video Touch Pads. A 2600/7800 controller port would serve use for 2 player games for 2600 or 7800, or for link battling for players with a Cougar Link cable and another system. Just like the GB Advance, link games only need one cart. The system will have a volume control, headphone jack, AC adapter port and the afromentioned extension ports. The Cougar's screen can NOT flip upside down for left handed people like the Lynx did. That's just my idea on how Hasbro and Atari (formerly Infogrames) might make new Atari handhelds.
