digdugnate Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 ha! or could be like those bootleg consoles that have 1000+ games, but 200 of them are bad ROM hacks of Super Mario Brothers. i should look for some PIRATE web sites that distribute ROMS and spread HATE and LIES at the same time because I'm clearly a terrible person that has nothing better to do. Even better if there's a FOREM that I can do this in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though we are a week past Labor Day and we have all put away our white shoes, technically there are still two weeks of summer for them to them to bring the shock and awe. I think a smart move for "Atari" would be to add up all the game variations of all the components of Atari Vault, and count those as if they were separate titles. Looky here, Video Olympics alone contains FIFTY VIDEO GAMES. I was gifted a pirate NES with 200 built in games a few years ago, and to pad out the number of games, they had extracted the events from Track and Field, and made them their own games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atgames did the same thing with the paddle blast unit. Of the 20 games, several were just individual games from video Olympics. I'm sure any resemblance of cheap Chinese knockoff machines and atgames are purely coincidental ...... wait, what thread am I in? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just want to see Atari not be a mockery. So does this news mean it will have Star Wars from 1983? 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t touched Tempest 4K since the week it came out. Are they still hoping that’s going to be their flagship packin’?

Plus, the graphics were so busy, I found them kind of obnoxious. I don't know why Atari and their fan-boys are so upset about this thread. If anything, they should be excited to see how entertaining their new console has been before it's even existed! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God these guys suck. As @themewsh points out, they seem to have removed their recycled "pro gamer move" post. Your factual comment had 19 likes (including my thumb up) when I saw it, which is more than they got. I suspect they have a month's worth of similarly insipid posts all queued up for automatic release, probably done without review by somebody who knows anything about the product. It's likely to happen again. They've always been a joke, but maybe these last obvious cockups will wake up some of the unquestioning followers. I wish we could be excited for something, anything they've done rather than just pointing and laughing at their ineptitude. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
