      I like the outer shell, but maybe someone should just throw a Raspberry Pi into it. :)

      New Flying Vacuum that HOOVERcar?

      Oh wait! Flying Vacuums suck! Ha get it? (groan)

  3. Seriously though, if Ataribox runs open Linux as advertised, I can make my own cruddy freeware SDL2 games for it. Prepare yourselves for the best worst Monster Rancher clone ever.

  4. Ataribox to run Linux, include neckbeard as pack-in accessory. Awww yeah. https://venturebeat.com/2017/09/25/ataribox-runs-linux-on-amd-chip-and-will-cost-at-least-249/

      I still say the console design is stupid. It looks like a 2600 wrapped in black mummy wrappings.

      InfrogrammesBox doesn't quite have the same ring to it...

      Yeaaah... that doesn't sound marketable.

  5. fig.co announces publishing deal with Atari for two new games. Maybe this is where the Ataribox campaign will later be hosted?

  6. Wow, it's been long enough that I actually want Ataribox news again.

      I'm the Ataribox baby, I've got speed. I've got everything I need.

      I'm the Ataribox baby, here comes the twist. I don't exist.

      Ataribox That News!

  7. Hmmm, just checked on Ataribox for the first time in like a week. Used to be at this everyday. Feels weird.

      Too bad they can't be more like Silicon Valley and "fail faster."

      I'm in for four of them. "Here, diagonally." Pretty sneaky, sis.

      Hmmm, the link is blocked by registration wall now. Must be a cover-up. Hopefully they don't send their ninja assassins after me.

  10. https://www.facebook.com/atariboxofficial/ It comes in orange! And I'm even hearing a rumor that the orange edition comes with a fresh citrus scent.

      Oddly, I expected it to have a somewhat different scent.

      Looks more like somebody took these LaCie USB hard drive enclosures and repainted them:

      I'd think they'd love him for keeping the Mystery alive! ... Perhaps they sent him on vacation, Waitaminute! They'd need a kickstarter to afford that (snooge)...

  12. Meh, I tried a joke status update a few minutes ago, and it didn't come out funny enough, so you get this instead.

  13. My reputation went down a point. This is gonna bug me all day.

      Look on the positive side... maybe it was supposed to go down two points, and didn't.

      Who the hell is Shakira?! And what's with all these freaky imaginary overhyped console / smartphone / handheld hybrids?

      jaybird, to answer your first question...

      You're welcome.
  15. Atari and Mattel partner to promote Mattel brands through Roller Coaster Tycoon Touch. Where was this partnership thirty years ago when IntellAtari would've rocked all our faces?

      M Network was better.

  16. 25 years from now: Ataribox Mini

    1. JDTAY

      JDTAY

      The twist: Ataribox is Jaguar Mini, and Ataribox Mini will be Jaguar Micro.

  17. French press release says Ataribox will be crowdfunded. In other news, an ominous cloud of doom has appeared above Atari headquarters.

      Why crowdfunding? Doesn't the company masquerading as "Atari" have an R&D budget? Was crowdfunding ever meant to be an excuse for an established business to be lazy and offload all the expense of market research and new product development onto their customers?

      While it wasn't -meant- to be that, shareholders and the like quickly realized the potential for it and ran with it.

  18. Will work for Ataribox info.

      I'm in the same boat as you, except only if it applies to the question of if it has physical media.

    4. GoldLeader

      I wouldn't mind knowing exactly what it will be.
