I prefer the original Pac-Man, the one that was burried in the New Mexico desert lol. Me and my cousin play it all the time.

Any update on the Flashback 2.0?
AtticGamer replied to Zonie's topic in AtGames Flashback and Portable Consoles
I agree that it would be cool, but it's not going to happen. Why would Infogrames be interested in supporting old cartridges? They don't make any money from their sales, and the cartridges' 20+ year age guarantees there would be some reliability issues. The modern Atari would be deluged with tech support calls and product returns through no fault of their own. The closed system model gives them complete control over the software included. That's the way they like it. 842905[/snapback] Then again, they could release 10-20 game multicarts every year at christmas time. That's fewer games to support. I could see Atari doing something like that. The multi carts would be cheap to produce and easy to support. If I were running their marketing group, That's what I'd consider. I have come across many people out there that are nostalgic about their atari's. Last month, I ran across a 50-60 yr old woman who just bought a 2600 and muilticart on eBay to satisfy her nostalgic urge. For every one like her there must be hundreds more that would buy one in a store if it were available to them. A multicart would easily fetch $20-30 each at a much lower unit cost than the entire console. The multi's would also fuel console sales, natch. As for the support calls, they could simply supply a placard stating that the vintage carts are not supported. Then on the tech-support line, the menu would have a statement regarding there is no free support for solving vintage cartidge issues. If you want to use em, and have issues with them you have to "pay" for support. That would be more than fair. That may even finance the free support for the rest of the users. If Atari handled this all right, it would lay the ground work for their comeback in the console business as a console maker. Oh, If I were their marketing VP, I also change the Logo back to original. The new one reminds me of bell bottom jeans...cringe!!!!! Atari, Are you listening? 842953[/snapback] I wish they were listening....I would love an Atari Console. -

AtticGamer replied to kevin242's topic in Modern Console Discussion
I have: Street Fighter 2 Doom 2 Super Mario World Sonic Sonic 2 Zelda A Link to the Past Those are some really good games, specially Mario. I played Atari Anniversary Edition and Pac-Man Collection and they're pretty good. -

I hope the 2nd volume has lots of games like console versions of the classics.

I wonder what the new owner experienced....didn't he/she say anything? 873679[/snapback] I think someone from the 1UP web site bought it, and was seriously disappointed by the lack of self-controlling controllers and eerie voices. JR 873891[/snapback] Tomorrow night, while he sleeps, we see a red light turn on, IT'S THE NES! The control pad goes around his neck and kills him instantly lol.

Hopefully this will be better than the DS compliation since the ports are arcade perfect.
