Curt Vendel Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 (edited) Was going through files tonight in archive room 1 and ran across a storage tube marked CX-2000, I thought it was strange as I didn't have it marked in my inventory list. Thinking is was mis-labeled I opened it to look at the contents, sure enough they were sheets of cx-2000 mechanical drawings, but then something caught my eye, the sheets said Without Joysticks. I was like WTH !?!?! Sure Enough Atari in Sunnyvale did a version without joysticks. No physical units have yet to ever surface, but this is a rather exciting find nontheless.

Seems like I've seen something like that in very early stage console prototypes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Cade Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I assume it means you would just plug in joysticks instead of them being integrated, like a regular Junior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
