Flojomojo Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 But but but! Indiegogo did everything they promised (take the money). It's the campaign runners that are failing to deliver! THAT'S ON THEM Also, if you get an "Atari VCS" and you aren't having any fun with it, THAT'S ON YOU because they've given you unprecedented freedom to create within their unlimited sandbox of freedom! Un-console! Fuck yeah! 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flojomojo Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Look for "Atari" to try to capture some sort of halo effect from good reviews for the higher-performing, higher-priced new silicon from AMD. Note that these are NOT the same thing that is going into "VCS" someday. https://gizmodo.com/amds-third-generation-ryzen-cpus-are-just-terrific-1836214501 and if anyone attempts to juice that stupid stock anywhere on here, that person should be banned from the whole forum. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Congratulations pigeons, I mean suckers, I mean sheep, We really mean Backers! Thanks for your loyalty and patience. For your efforts, at the end of December, you will receive an exclusive pre-alpha development kit to make our product even better. In addition to the console shell, you will receive a breadboard with most of the components. Please handle this kit carefully as some connections have to be held together by duct tape. After some additional investment and time on your part, you will have everything you need to help in further development. Simple as that!" Notice: Availability of the development kit is subject to change at any time. December 31st is not a guaranteed ship date. During your development efforts, product specifications may change at any time without notice. Taco making kits and ingredients are not included. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cybercylon Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 You are on a roll today Flojo... What are the chances that this Atari SA group even knows there was a store back in the 1980's called the Apollo that sold Atari games in Ireland? Well, if someone believes that, I have a working prototype and a bridge somewhere to sell them.... 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if someone believes that, I have a working prototype and a bridge somewhere to sell them.... I'd say there's a 99.9999% probability that "AtariVCS" is bluffing/lying, and that our pigeon friends are so wrapped up in hearing what they want to hear, they'll never notice. The Barnum Effect is working overtime in their heads. Quote These characterizations are often used by practitioners as a con-technique to convince victims that they are endowed with a paranormal gift. Because the assessment statements are so vague, people interpret their own meaning, thus the statement becomes "personal" to them. Also, individuals are more likely to accept negative assessments of themselves if they perceive the person presenting the assessment as a high-status professional. The Apollo store looks like it was similar to Woolworth or other urban discount shop, and the space on the famous market street in Dublin seems to have been taken over by something similar called Dealz. It looks like the kind of thing that only a child's nostalgia would remember fondly, nothing particularly special. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having the option of removable media was going to be a nice feature. Nice enough that they used it as a talking point right up until they removed it. The SD card slot would have been the modern interpretation of the cart slot IMO. They couldn't even get that right. A USB HDD sitting next to the machine just isn't the same. Neither is an SD card reader sticking out of that same USB port. It feels unintended when you start having to add dongles and whatever else to replace a feature they removed. If an end user has to start adding their own shit to the device right out of the box? Not a good thing. Atari should consider a raid or pci or a cartridge slot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most VCS buyers don't have a collection of original carts to play and most people with a collection of original carts aren't interested in the VCS (and adding one won't change our minds). Plus, adding a 2600 slot but no Jag slot is just gonna piss off the Jag fans. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll never be able to manage RAID or an expansion card; even a simple cartridge slot would be a stretch. 13 minutes ago, KaeruYojimbo said: Plus, adding a 2600 slot but no Jag slot is just gonna piss off the Jag fans. ... and you do NOT want to be around when that happens! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
