I had been part of Wonders Alpha program and on their forum. After many year of delivering nothing and being hammered by all their community , they came up with that gaming OS service. By then the whole community had deserted them. I think they even shut down their forum. They tried to get Phone companies to pick up the OS and put on their phones. But no one touched it. It was kind of pointless IMO Now Atari has taken it up - Lol Ah, so then they're a perfect match for Atari SA. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't they just give this poor bloke his VCS. For all he cares it could be an Atari branded dog sh!t and that would keep him happy.

MrBeefy Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Geeze I usually have a high tolerance for this stuff but I'm 7 min in and have to take a break. I get being a fan I don't get blind fanboyism.... I do hope he gets something and is happy with it. I guess he's never seen the Atari Flashback? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep it's actually borderline sad to watch what those assholes at AtariSA are doing to people like this. He's probably a really nice guy yet they pray on these type of people for money. AtariSA are no better then tech-support scammers, full of fake promises yet never deliver... 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, E.T. did not asked for a refund now… He felt his money he gave to Atari would be good invest. It was one Dollar - well spent money to be kept entertained for such a Long time... The real invest for a "VCS Collector's Edition" plus additional controller was cancelled AND refunded before the money collecting time was over… E.T. had seen all the red flags Atari was showing while collecting the money… ?

carlsson Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) Oh yes, I remember now. The Wonder Alpha was briefly discussed here in the summer of 2017. Then I made a follow-up post over a year later and noted pretty much nothing had happened. Regarding the deal with Atari, as we say in Swedish "kaka söker maka" (literally "cookie seeks mate"), that two similar parties attract to eachother. I understand it might have Danish-Norwegian origin, even references to the Greek philiosopher Plato and some English thinkers in the 16th century.

carlsson Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Yup. I know what it means in other languages... When you run out of cookies, you can write "kaka slut" in broken language. Anyway, since hips don't lie, can we expect Fred to shake his soon? 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
