Mr SQL Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Atari is awesome! Atari just shipped me this cool Nolan Bushnell era Legacy Development Kit!!! I did some recent work for them and shared my admiration for the iconoclastic VCS and the Flashback consoles. I haven't opened the package yet - just shook it to listen I need to pickup the hardware to connect it along with a six switch model it's designed for; I've only got a Vader and a Junior at present but I've been wanting six switches on the console for some time and now I really have no excuse! I will post pictures of my Retro Development Kit once I have that equipment; for now, here is a picture of the package as I received it from Atari last weekend - you can see it's from California and was shipped to my software company Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's it exactly! I'm tremendously delighted and inspired to have the kit so I want to draw this out like a kid with an ice-cream bar! Don't worry I won't wait till it melts; I'm storing it inside in a cool dry place, not outside on my deck where I took the picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
