CommanderGrimm Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 To really highlight the lack of communication with the VCS; THEC64, who didn't even hit their $150,000 goal, who don't have the namesake of the console they are replicating, have had 133 updates, with 4 updates in December alone. While yes, they had to settle on the C64 Mini before going to the full size, you have to give them credit where credit is due. They don't have the advantage of having the original company name, but they do have dedication. They could have settled with the mini, but now it appears, in the most recent updates, that they are focused on a full-size model planned for this year! So far no technical info has been published (for all we know it's just another shell) but hopefully they will prove that they are making a real product. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There clearly is no product, but you do make a good point THEC64 delivered with a measly $150,000. Edited January 30, 2019 by thetick1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+D Train Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 So uh Hebrew is left to right so Atari is עטרי ? hebrew is right to left. for those playing at home the letters (read r to l) are ayin-tet-resh-yod. the ayin is a place holder. it makes no sounds but in alphabets with diacritic vowels, the vowels go below the letter. tet is a 't' resh is an 'r' and yod is a 'y' if you put "ah" vowels underneath the ayin and the resh and a dot (which makes an "ee" underneath the resh, you get atari. yay! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommanderGrimm Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 ~Fixed my comment due to typing error: I hope THEC64 group delivers on their promises, but I am extremely wary of "Atari"s promises. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetick1 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) Am I dense for thinking that THEC64 crew will deliver on their promise? Or did you assume that I believed Nutari? No because THEC64 crew posted real details, prototypes, pictures of their manufacturing line. I'm a proud C64 Mini owner. I'll never be a Nuatari owner because speaker hats are lame and generic ones are $10 not the $200 Atari charges. My 9 year old son does like his generic speaker hat. Anyway it was very clear Atari posted fake prototypes. They are nothing but scam artists. Edited January 30, 2019 by thetick1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Ivi Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Didn't Atari say they were croudunding to increase communication with fans/customers? they must stay secret, highly confidential I think it's Huge the project, honestly few people believe it but when we will be that Google Metallurgy is the Atari VCS, we'll see who laughs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TwentySixHundred Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 they must stay secret, highly confidential I think it's Huge the project, honestly few people believe it but when we will be that Google Metallurgy is the Atari VCS, we'll see who laughs Highly confidential for what reason? They claimed it was going to be inferior in every aspect compared to anything else on the market. What's the big "top secret" feature the system was going to bring? It's obvious by keeping tight lipped they have nothing what-so-ever and in for the money grab. They couldn't be further from the public if they tried. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Metallurgy, does this refer to the odds to use a metal detector in order to find an ancient treasure, vs the odds that Atari finally will launch this console? I would bet you sooner find that treasure in the sand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBerel Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) In 1976, a professor of economic history at the University of California, Berkeley published an essay outlining the fundamental laws of a force he perceived as humanity’s greatest existential threat: Stupidity.Stupid people, Carlo M. Cipolla explained, share several identifying traits: they are abundant, they are irrational, and; they cause problems for others without apparent benefit to themselves The result is that “stupidity” lowers society’s total well-being and there are no defenses against stupidity. According to Cipolla:“The only way a society can avoid being crushed by the burden of its idiots is if the non-stupid work even harder to offset the losses of their stupid brethren.” https://realinvestmentadvice.com/5-universal-laws-of-human-investment-stupidity/ Edited January 30, 2019 by JBerel 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also said it will be a Linux box. So what's left to be "highly confidential" about? Maybe that they bamboozled you guys to get funding? <snip> Brutal.

Just asking this so that I can understand your position a little better: what are you seeking to accomplish by engaging Atari SA as you have been? I get that you want more communication from them - but, past that point, what would you like to see them do or not do? This is where my curiosity is kicking in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
