Atari games are unplayable.

Atari in its current state is just a reanimated corpse and may as well be considered a shell company for money laundering. These products are the bare minimum to make it seem like they aren't doing shady shit behind the scenes to stay afloat. The sad part is people want to root for Atari, and their recent games have been quite good. But it's all pointless because they're totally incompetent as a business.

>>716140960
Thats just atari homie

>7800

>designed after the 2600
>the console known for the worst port of pacman ever

>>716141307
They're rereleasing pacman for the 2600 too as well with it

>>716140474 (OP)
It’s a cute piece of hardware. It’s a shame that there is no arcade port on the 2600 worth playing.

>>716140960
What does Atari even do? Everytime I see a new product being advertised from them it's always the console that they invented like 3 decades ago. Just like now.

>>716140474 (OP)
At first glance it's very fugly with the ghost colors. But it almost looks like weird 60s plastic which is obviously before Atari's time, but still. This tickes my brain in a weird way

>>716141574
They made a new console called the vcs and still release games for it
They even hired wayforward to make them some waifu game

ATARI IS BASED AF. MY UNCLE WORKS THERE. THERE IS MORE TO COME

>>716140474 (OP)

Who buys this shit?

>>716141197

At least the carts are 7800 roms. The 7800 was at least a semi-decent system.

>>716141798
7800 rom of pacman comes with the 2600 port

>>716141854
That's fine, as it's at least not the only version you'll get. We all know the 2600 version is dogshit.

>>716141916
Yeah but its insane to me to even include it
Anything can be nostalgia I guess

>>716141709
Youtubers

>>716141585
Dont buy it

>>716140474 (OP)
Wasn’t the Atari port of Pac-Man notoriously terrible?

>>716143050
Yes

>>716140542
Groovy

>>716140474 (OP)
>144p 15fps
>30 minutes of gameplay
>$300
We are NOT buying this. Expedition 33 is still GOTY. Sorry, Pac-Man.

WAKAWAKAWA-ACK

>>716141854
They mention making anew version of Pac-man too for the 7800.

>ALL-NEW PAC-MAN Game for the 7800

>>716144329
What?

>>716144189
Pacmans like a 10 minute game

>>716144498
It's right there on the production description if you follow the link.

>>716145396
Weird.
I mean thats cool IG

>>716140474 (OP)
Burger Time Edition when?

>>716140474 (OP)
>Atari thread
>no Atari wojak memes
I am honestly disappointed

>>716145806
Post it nigga

>>716140474 (OP)
do you need more?

>>716140960
Why couldn't they be like Microprose who's also a reanimated corpse but is actually trying to put out good games

>>716145806
I got you

>>716140474 (OP)
>It's another "Atari tries and fails to sell another $300 console that has like 4 roms on it from 50 years ago" fiasco
It's crazy how long a company can ride its own dick for and not even try putting out a new game in years.

>>716146813
Yars rising came out thi

>>716146616
No

Why wouldn't I just play the arcade versions on Switch?

>>716147417
Because then you cant play the bad version youtubers talk aboutb

We can boogie on down..

>>716147894
Boogie...boogie boogie dance

Why do Americans only give a shit about three-four of Namco's old titles and ignore everything else?

>>716146760
Groovy

>>716140960
And yet it's still less of a fuck up than Intellivision or Colecovision became.

>>716140474 (OP)
I'll wait until the Shadow Labyrinth version.

>>716140474 (OP)
>the atari 2600 is unironically back from the dead, getting new games and is being sold alongside the ps5 and switch 2
why the fuck doesn't sega do the same with the dreamcast?

>>716149667
Sega is a multi plat bitch company now and I don’t think Sonic is a system seller anymore

>>716144189
it's 60fps tho

I gotta get this. I've been a Pac-Fan since 1980.

>>716149667
sega learned to not trust developers
>any developer during between saturn and ps3
>EXCLUSIVE FOR X CONSOLE
>dev 1 year later : jokes on you heres the game for other system
whats worse is retard believing devs

> Not just two usb sticks and a controller you can stick into an USB drive to play all the Atari games with?
It would be kino concept made right and could go for $70 in this economy.

i think it should be actual arcade ports rather than shit 2600/7800 ports

>>716150938
Kek

>>716149667
Nigga whose buying a 2600

>>716149256
Atari actually owns both now too

>collecovision
>intellevision
I was born in 1991 so these things were just those “boring games that aren’t nintendo or sega” to me

>>716154008
Didnt the jaguar come out in 96?

>>716154052
No. It was DoA by then. The Jag came out in 1993.

Centipede and Millipede on 2600 are a blast. Fuck all of you.
>>716154008
I was also born in '91 and my friends and I played a lot of atari through older siblings and relatives. It was fun.

>>716154171
Ah. I was born way after that shit back when the shitty failed consoles of the 90s sold for 40 bucks online

>>716154195
But there's better ports

>>716154396
Who gives a shit, they're still enjoyable on atari. The real complaint here is how much they're charging when twenty years ago you could get a plug 'n' play atari controller with a ton of games for $20.

>>716154787
Thats fair
Atari is fucking weird man
Check out their hardware shlp

Eh, I'm more hyped for the Atari 50 DLC. Which I hope is free.

>>716154883
>Which I hope is free.

>>716140474 (OP)
Atari is back, baby. Time to put Nintendo and Sega in their place!

>>716140474 (OP)
Gaming is... LE SAVED?!

>>716140474 (OP)
How are they not bankrupt yet?

>>716144329
Is it actually new, or is it one of the many homebrew recreations of Pac-Man that were made over the years? I'm ASSsuming the later.

>>716155687
Money laundering

>>716154883
>Which I hope is free.
(you)'re such a naive dumbass, Boco. Also, shut up.

Atari games just don't feel the same on other systems. You need that stiff as fuck joystick and big red button.

>>716140474 (OP)
Wasn't there supposed to be Atari shitcoins, Atari hotels and Atari third-party games?

>>716153647
apparently enough people to give Atari an excuse for a repaint with wireless controllers

>>716156019
that's phantom atari (there's 2 different companies with the same name because of trademark bullshit)

>>716156019
Atari shitcoin exists

>>716156404
Holy fuck theyre 40 bucks

>>716140474 (OP)
Isn't Atari pac man terrible? I thought it was credited as contributing to the video game crash.

>>716157360
Yeah its unironically a broken game

>>716157360
it's the 7800 version which is closer to the arcade original

>>716140474 (OP)
We're so back

>>716158221
No its both

>>716154883
You can already buy better Namco arcade ports through Arcade Archives.

>>716140474 (OP)
This is relevant to my interests.

>>716160892
bassed

>>716140474 (OP)

are they out of their minds? who the fuck is this for?

>>716162042

Performative nostalgiafags.
