JDTAY Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Meh, I still want an Ataribox, even with the shady cryptocurrency. I mean, as long as it has open Linux, which the website still claims it does. A decent Linux console is largely in my area of interest. I'm gonna make the best worst games ever for it. Including the just conceived Retro Brand Company Simulator. Pimp out your brand at casinos to get funding for real projects that you'll never be capable of finishing. Also, make delicious tacos. Fun for the whole family! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Damn I love tacos. My mouth is seriously watering at the pictures CPUWIZ posted. I wish I had some tacos. You just made the bologna sammich jealous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raticon Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 My only hope for the announcement where they will announce that they will make an announcement later on is that they have dropped the stupid indiegogo crowdfunding scheme and will fund it through conventional means. If so I might find interest in the thing again. I don't give a single f#%k about their lame cryptobuzzcurrency brainfarting. I'm with Historian on that one as just a lame attempt to raise the stock and be one with the it-crowd for the moment. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Here's an example of an app that mines currency in the background. The feature is going to be removed, but it's unclear as to why. I sure hope crypto mining is not going to be the new "look at ads to fund your platform." Hogging your CPU and burning electricity is almost worse than spyware. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Ok. tacos_nobull.jpg bullshit tacos. Mmm, yummy! Just got these. A former version of myself ten years less mature would have probably bought some of those "flying fuck" coins. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+thanatos Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Wife wanted Taco Bell tonight. I decided to go with the classics but with the El Yucateco instead of fire sauce. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are losing out, you are 12 years younger than me, I am still a kid when it comes to joking around. I'll probably buy some of the other coins as well. Not just the ZERO ones. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mockduck Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I will almost certainly be ordering one of the Atariboxes if and when it actually gets to the point of taking money. I find it disappointing how anti-Atari this forum is sometimes, although I realize current Atari has nothing to do with the OG company. Still, the console has potential, and I for one hope it succeeds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SignGuy81 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) Boy I must have missed a lot on this thread. Last I checked was tacos now it is cryptocurrecy. So what is the deal now? Do we have to buy the Ataribox with cryptocurrency or is the Ataribox now going to be a cryptocurrency mining machine?

godslabrat Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Can you be anti-Atari when there really IS NO Atari? I don't see it as anti-Atari so much as Anti-cash-grabbing. A company putting out a valuable product is a good thing. A company attempting to sell something of no value for a high price based on brand familiarity is not. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been playing them on PS4 and really like them. In particular, the online multiplayer works great for both new and old 2600 games (although you have to have someone in mind, as there aren't enough people using it to support random public grouping.) The online is much better than with the Atari Vault released on PC a while back. Here's hoping it supports ad hoc multiplayer on Switch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+frankodragon Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 We're (still) not convinced of a real Ataribox since the only pics so far are of renders. So tacos it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SignGuy81 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) Still, the console has potential, and I for one hope it succeeds. I guess my question is what new do they have to offer as far as games as to why I would need a system from them? If they had a bunch of exclusive new upgraded titles coming out only available on it like Nintendo for example I can see maybe. And if it is a bunch of old games still why not stick with a Flashback. If and when it comes out, for me to buy it I better see a must have game that I cannot get on any other system(with others lined up).
