Isn't this year the 30th anniversary of the 2600?

Recommended Posts

I would think *something* special would be going on... Maybe even from Atari themselves? I know it's very early in the year... but... anything? :ponder:

I am still hoping for a multicart with all of the original release games on one cart :)

Well, if Atari actually still owned any of the Atari produced games of the 2600, I think a multicart with all 60 or so games on it would kick some serious ass.

 

Atari won't take any notice to this historical time though. IF so, maybe a 30th 2600 compilation for the consoles. Oh yeah, they already did that as the Atari Anthologies :P

 

Oh well. Happy 30th 2600!!

I have been crowing this same thing for months (in between talkin about Fonz).

I believe that there IS a 30th Anniversary Cart in the works though not by InfoTari. Probably something that will be offered right here at AA.

I'd prefer a homebrew made by some of the best programmers here at AA......instead of something put out by the Info-turds.

Again, GoSub! ;)

I know, I'm not one of the best programmers.

Amen to that!

Something like Combat III, One Player Version or a game about traveling back in time year by year until you reach 1977 :)

If they can't get a programmer to do a 30th Anniversary cart (or enough people to buy one) then maybe they can make a commemorative shot glass.

 

Hey - if they had AA shotglasses I would sure buy one...hmmmmmmm

One too many shotglasses is why people end up in AA in the first place :D

I think a combat III would be awesome.

This is also the 10th anniversary for the CGE. I'm sure these guys must be planning something to coincide with the 30th anniversary of Stella.

I would LOVE an Atari Megamix full of entertaining minigames served up in bite -sized chunks, like what Nintendo did with (the first) Wario Ware. :D

 

If I can't have that, a portable Flashback 2 with lots of extra games would be a nice consolation prize. :)

 

If I can't have that, I guess I'll just mope around and play Demon Attack on my PSP. :|

Is InforAtari still around? I ask for last year there was a thread talking about the deathwatch of Atari. ;)

I want cake. I think the bakery would look at me strangely if I asked them to write 'Happy Birthday Atari' and then write a big Atari logo on the cake for me.

Probably have the multicart in a golden cartridge.

 

 

30th is neither Gold or Pearl, it is Emerald. And some of us have been months working on 30th anniv. specific releases :)

I think it would be really funny. Not sure if the bakery folks will know what Atari is. Kind of sounds like a neat ethnic name.
