AtariLeaf Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Darn it I thought they were near the end of the final testing and manufacturing phase so they can start shipping me my sweet sweet Atacobox early next year. . . oh wait, I just remembered, I DIDN'T throw my money down the toilet. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaysWithWolves Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I don't believe Q3, Q4 etc is meant to signify fiscal year, just a vagueness. They're way behind no matter what their schedule is supposed to be. Calendar Q4 ends Dec. 31st but Atari's Fiscal Q4 ends Mar. 31st (? Per PDF). The quarters were definitely for vagueness, which I think was okay. But it would be super-cheesy if they came out now and claimed that they were referring to their own fiscal quarters. So, we know that's going to happen. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannacek Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 A timeline is meaningless when you hold yourself accountable to no one. That is the point of Indigogo, zero accountability to anyone. At least with Kickstarter you need a working prototype. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_B Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 It seems to want a console controller, with configurable keyboard controls as an alternative. I agree a mouse would be nice, but I don't think it's supported, at least not until they patch it. Still, what's ten bucks? Yeah, the PC version has issues with the controls and high refresh rate monitors, but nothing that should bother you if you use a controller and cap it at 60 Hz A patch is apparently in the works, but they're a 2-person studio, so it may be a while before it drops.

+frankodragon Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Yes, it's just a shell address. As we have already discussed, it's not a taco shell, either. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/266480-new-atari-console-that-ataribox/page-120?do=findComment&comment=3901192 Maybe then they really are located closer to the red light district than I previously thought. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+frankodragon Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I found out Paris has a lot of fake buildings. So then here's what the Atacobox looks like in its shell form: (Plus I believe this is all they have worked on for a year-and-a-half.) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBeefy Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 First time having Taco John. Too expensive for what it is. Tater rounds were great though. Super hot salsa was a joke. Overall good but not at the price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digdugnate Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 the closest one to Casa Del Digdug is in Lebanon, MO, and that's still probably 2 hours away from hicksville Greenfield. (SW corner of state) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually have a running tally of the remarkable similarities between the Coleco Chameleon, PolyMega, and Ataribox. I'd post it tonight, but it's Christmas Eve and I don't want to half-ass it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
