Paul Slocum #27005 Posted February 25, 2020 It looks like it's free. Anybody in NY willing to go and try the tacos? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flojomojo #27006 Posted February 25, 2020 I'll actually be in the area, but there's no way I'm going to a pop-up "gamers lifestyle event." Dcave? More like Dbag. There can't be much crossover appeal between this e-sports stuff and the "mostly broken PC running Atari VCS emulator" scene, can there? 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carlsson #27007 Posted February 25, 2020 Perhaps there will be both an Asteroid MMORPG and a Centipede battle royale game on display? 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why two? Because they only have two that work. They sure are desperate for attention though. Much like a naughty child. Or my neighbours. 5 minutes ago, Agillig said: Well, if you're a backer, this is incredibly good news. At least until they unpack the DO NOT TOUCH signs from their case. After all, they never said it's the attendees going hands-on. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TACODON #27016 Posted February 26, 2020 To keep this thread on topic. I had some really good taco Tuesday dollar tacos for dinner. I actually had two of them and know they did exist. But what will Atari show off? I bet they just use 2 Flashback X and hope no one notices. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+thanatos #27020 Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) Kind of surprised this hotel joke hasn't been made yet. Though I think I may have done it for a previous years' E3 post. Too old to remember.

+MrBlackCat #27021 Posted February 26, 2020 Next they will announce a delay because they got a virus... like the "Core-OnAh" virus... it corrupts cores in your processor you know... but they are still working hard around the clock to get these out to the backers! Stay TUNED! Norton will have an anti-virus update for Atari in WEEKS! Not months... MrBlackCat 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is a classic, and clowns are appropriate for this three ring circus in the middle of the f--k up farm. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
