    My definition of "hit" and yours are likely very far apart. My definition would be enough revenue to keep going to a core crowd of people who have a lot of fun with it for the next couple of years. 

    My definition of “hit” is the same as everyone else’s. I don’t change the definition of the word to suit my defensive stature when I’m called out on my b.s.  

     

    That said, I think it’s reasonable to go back and change your sentence to “I think they have the potential for actual short-term sustainability regardless of what peeps here think,” yeah?

    I need you to write this down:  there is absolutely zero chance this thing is going to become a “hit.”  It is absolutely not going to happen, period, end of story, amen.

    This recently came out. None of us backers have been directly informed about this(mail, discord, twitter, IGG).

     

    The usual way to "fix" things :(

    If only someone, somewhere had seen this coming...🤔

    I did not say that I am upset. I said some people are upset that VCS owners like me, are enjoying their purchase!
    (x=usr(1536), for example, did understand my meaning, I think. 🙂)

    There is absolutely nobody here that is upset with you enjoying your purchase, and that point has been stated by numerous people time and time again.

    As some her are prompt with a "colourful" negative, I think they're missing a YouTube career,
    putting the comments into a video with other people here who share similar views on Atari!

     

    I literally have no idea what this sentence means.

    This just came in the mail - Mentioned a few months back(I won it in a contest), it's the Atari Pong Mini Jr. unit, although the box just says "Atari Pong." It's Android based and I can access something via Windows when I plug it in via USB. Video forthcoming, although not sure which section of the site I should post that in...Atari General? Dedicated Systems?

    Neat!  What's your high score?

    Thanks anyway, I just bought one recently, CIB for a good deal, $150. Just curious, how much is the store selling it for?

     

    I think they were selling it for 300.00. You definitely got a great deal.

    What store? I live in Tacoma.

     

    Ah nice!  It was at Super Smash on S. Tacoma Way last month. It’s been there for about a year now and they had dropped the price a bit. It was CIB and in like-new condition.  Best of luck!  Lemme know if you snag it.

    It remains to be seen if they will show up on store shelves.   

    They will not.

    But consider this scenario:

    Kids: "What do we get dad for Christmas this year, he has everything?"

    Mom: "Look at this Atari VCS thing, he used to love Atari growning up"

    Kids: "It even plays Minecraft and Fortnite?  Cool, now we can teach him how to play, perfect!"

    So I can see a lot of them being sold as gifts for a hard to buy for parent.

    Respectfully, that's a TREMENDOUS leap.  First, you'd have to have some sort of awareness that this product exists, which is not the case, by and large.  Second, you'd have to have them available by Christmas.  You don't have them now and I'd bet my paycheck there won't be any available next Christmas, either.  Third, you'd have to have a whooooole bunch of people willing to make a $400 impulse buy of a console they haven't researched or know anything about. It's just not going to happen.

    I have little hope of success, but I figured I'd ask. I have a complete copy of Doom with a repro overlay. I'd love to get an OEM overlay. If you have an extra, let me know!

     

    Just saw this.  Might have an extra one.  I'm at work, but I'll let you know by tomorrow am.

    I'm a little late to this ballgame, but I don't know much about Tandy computers and their collectability, and I found this post via googling "Real Talker".  I bought a bunch of old electronics and found a Real Talker voice synthesizer by Colorware, Inc. amongst the other stuff, and I'm having trouble finding any info on it.  Even eBay sales are pretty much nonexistent.  I take it this is an uncommon item, considering the lack of info and the fact someone's making a new clone product?  

     

    Thanks for any light you can shed on this.

    What do you expect from a guy who had the words "Marine" and "Soldier" as a mashup in his profile name? WTF? That's like trying to plug an NES cart into a 7800.

    :D

     THANK YOU!  That was making my teeth itch. 

     

    Go Army  😉
