hizzy Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 I don't want to look like I'm picking on them, but their game play video for Yars' Return appears to be Yars' Revenge. I apologize if I'm mistaken. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Each standard edition copy comes sealed with a high quality box, cartridge and manual." Wow, what a difference. I can imagine someone bursting through the door of their art dept. and saying "Guys, we have to change all of this. I was reading AtariAge forums and..." haha well you know the rest. This thread has become a total whirlwind for me, but I'll still hang in there. Err... I do know a couple things I'm gonna ask Santa for this year, though. ?

Tempest Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Well that's one thing. I hope they're not going to use anything from AA's Saboteur release without credit and compensation. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which, I think is a shame because the AA logo for Saboteur is slick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I apologize if I'm mistaken. Yeah I found that a little odd.. yet another marketing issue they've gotta address. I just saw a clip of Yars Return on YouTube taken from the Flashback 6 console. Looks awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Dennis is going to be adequately compensated for any collaboration he commits to. I'm still a bit nervous about where this goes from here. It's kind of grey already. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree that it is nice that they gave Curt Vendel (and Dennis Debro) credit here...I just don't think we ought to ignore what they (EDIT: They, in this context, refers to Fred & Co.) did to him in the past. You can of course, do what you want. Not my story, but in Curt's own words... Also I agree, vote with your dollars.

Fred isn’t CEO anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. I have edited it for clarity. To be clear though, the players have been shuffled, and perhaps new divisions started, but this is not some brand new company. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Room 34 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Well hey there. I used to be a regular around here but I haven’t posted in years. I just saw an ad for these games on Instagram and thought, what the ****! I had to come here and see what the general reaction was. I don’t quite get this. I find it hard to believe that anyone in 2021 would have a working Atari 2600 and potentially be interested in these games, and NOT know more about the community than the people behind this AtariXP business apparently do. The whole thing is just… weird. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jgkspsx Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I feel a lot better about my purchase of Aquaventure now that it is confirmed to be a complete copy. And, well, if they’re going to release @DEBRO’s final version of Yars Return, FINALLY, I may be in for a copy of that too. (Particularly if they pay him.) I hope they contribute to the GoFundMe for Curt’s daughter’s college fund as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be clear though, the players have been shuffled, and perhaps new divisions started, but this is not some brand new company. To clarify, Fred is no longer involved. I've opened the lines of communications again and so far the people in charge now seem to be very passionate about the brand and legacy and want to move beyond the "We're a licensing company" issues that happened under Fred. Hoping to be able to announce some cool things myself (and the Atari Museum) will be partnered with this year next year for the 50th. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if they plan on continuing the whole 2600 releases, they should bring Albert on. Excited to see what happens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Are they going to post actual photos of the printed products, not just renders? Supposedly these are shipping soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like AAA games released that aren't finished, unplayable with bugs, and full of gambling mechanics to hook young children. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
