So, we are talking 87 to 107 games (new and old), plus two wireless controllers with touch screens, USB, SD card support and a future cartridge port adapter (not counting games as those are separate IMO)? If yes, I would say $150 or so. Any higher than $175 and you get near (Black Friday) Xbox One and PS4 prices. In the end, I say somewhere between $125 to $175 max. Sound about right?

If they can get this at $150 or under, I don't think it will make them a laughing stock, especially if all of its games are $10 or less. However, if the console is $175+ and games go from $20 or so, you would be more right than wrong then. Still, hopefully they can deliver a cool system that would be good for the whole family. I am all about that, especially having an 8 year old running around the house.

The Jag is pretty slick, but the CD player kills the look by sure.

That is one of the main issues with this product. At the price point they are shooting for, how many people can they really expected are going to choose this over a new Xbox and/or PlayStation product. Sure, it could happen, but I really don't see this product doing much of anything that something else can't do as good if not better.

I agree. I like the Atari Jaguar's look to, but the Neptune definitely had style and nothing so openly exposed like the Jag did.

Yep, that was my point. You have Genesis/Mega Drive games on there plus a small compilation of 32x games (5-10). Make it to where it can play cartridges for both and I think that would be a nice little product. Also, I agree having just a 32x system by itself would not fly what-so-ever. However, something like a Neptune could be a hot ticket item IMO.

An 32x Genesis (which is what Sega should have built) would be an interesting option. It could be pre-loaded with Genesis and 32x games. That along with SD card support, I think that would be a winner. The others, I am afraid, only hard-core gamers (and historians) know about.

A la 'Billy Madison'

Agreed. This and an updated FB would be nice. However, looks like a new Intellivision is the project they are pursuing in lieu of any others.

Me too, but reading between the lines a Intellivision FB2 has pretty much had the kibosh put on it with Intellivision going solo.

Yes, you are probably right. Shoot, if the Xbox 'Duke' controller can redone and touched up a bit to make it better than it was before, I am sure an updated 5200 controller could be done. However, I am afraid there is not too much demand for the 5200 in general. Still, an updated controller would be nice, that's for sure.

I'll go with (in no particular order) the Magnavox Odyssey, APF TV Fun - Model 401, Radio Shack Electronic TV Scoreboard (6 game version), and original Tele-Games Pong.

A great collection for sure, but I am not sold on it being $5800. Seems like a bit too much chronic has been smoked.

While I agree that having a cartridge slot would be very nice, so much is done digitally nowadays that having one really is a luxury. I think Intellivision's business model for this console is pretty good (IMO) and I think it could be a minor success if they do things right.

To get the Atari VCS Tribute Edition All In or wait for the next Xbox console in 2020 for (probably more or less) the same price Tough call....

Well, something is better than nothing

I couldn't remember if the AFC V3 has 5200 games or not. Hopefully they will tweak and improve gameplay as that would be a pretty nifty little collection to have handy as the 5200 is not a bad console, but those controllers just kill it (and not in a good sense).

A 5200 FB would be cool, but considering no one would touch those controllers with a 20 foot pole, it will never happen. It doesn't hurt to dream though and I would imagine that some kind of 5200 compilation could be possible.

LOL! That works too

I can go with defunct. That pretty much nails it IMO.

Again, Atari after 1996 was done. If they didn't go full on 'legal' bankrupt is beyond the point. Please recall my original statement: "Is Sega still the same as (presumably most) grew up with as a console manufacturer, no. However, Sega decided to quit the console business and become a 3rd party gaming studio, so it has continued on as a company without totally being bankrupt and out of the gaming business like 3DO, Atari, etc. So, in that regard Sega is still Sega, but just not manufacturing consoles anymore. Sound fair?" My point was that Sega decided to quit the console business and become a 3rd party developer and therefore different than others like 3DO, Atari, and Coleco that went bust and are/were out of the gaming business. Sorry, but I believe the viewpoint is valid even if Atari did not go full on, nine alarm bankrupt. For all intents and purposes, they did. But, I do acknowledge and accept that Atari (1972-1996) did not go full on legal bankrupt as you have pointed out. I accept that. However, there is no denying they were out of the video game business, broke as a joke, and picked off of the scrap heap to be reborn into a new entity. Therefore, lets see if Atari SA can actually deliver on the Atari VCS, which I (personally) highly doubt, but I could be (happily) proven wrong.

Again, they "left the market" (equal to getting out of the gaming business). Now, we can do the semantics game regarding bankruptcy. However, "running out of money" equals broke/bankrupt in my and a lot of other peoples mind. If they didn't file (legal) bankruptcy, good for them. However, the original Atari that existed from 1972 to 1996 went the way of the dodo and eventually was picked off of the scrap heap. Same (more or less) for Coleco as well. If you don't see it my way, totally fine. But please, let's not have excessive drinking of Atari SA Kool-Aid. We can all deal without that.

So, you are saying that Atari "left the market" (which equals out of the gaming business) and "they completely ran out of money" (i.e. bankrupt). Sorry, but you proved my point instead of countering it.

Is Sega still the same as (presumably most) grew up with as a console manufacturer, no. However, Sega decided to quit the console business and become a 3rd party gaming studio, so it has continued on as a company without totally being bankrupt and out of the gaming business like 3DO, Atari, etc. So, in that regard Sega is still Sega, but just not manufacturing consoles anymore. Sound fair?
