Thread 724835530

buy an ad.

who still buys things like this? the gen x numale who doesn't know how to emulate audience still exists?

I'm sure the one odd boomer and 3 gen-xers are really happy about this

>>724835530 (OP)
So, is this a good version of Pac-Man or the shitty-ass OG Atari version?

>>724835608
Two posts in and the emuvegans are here.

>>724835690
Shitty ass

>>724835690
it'll likely be both the 2600 version and the 7800 version on one cart

the 2600+ is essentially an ancient android TV box (Rockchip 3128 quad core ARMv7 chip, 256mb of ram and 256mb of flash storage) stuck inside a VCS shell with an extra $150 slapped on the price tag

>>724836021
It can still play cartridges so still a console

>>724836021
oh, seems the 7800 port is a new one they've commissioned for this multicart

first vidya console I ever played, had a macintosh too. really should have kept them

>>724835530 (OP)
release atari 5200+ already fucking faggots

>>724836083
it's as much of a console as the Hyperkin Retron 5 is, hopefully without the compatibility issues

2600 clone hardware has been around for decades but obviously ancient ARM chips running an emulator are easier to source

>>724835530 (OP)
I'm glad Namco is willing to keep the most infamous conversion of their insignia game in print.
For some people, legal availability is the only kind of video game preservation (I don't agree, but whatever), but Namco could've easily use copyright to memory hole it.

This is also emulation, retard.

>Atari gets all this support, even for original hardware, when Atari is too early in the video game timeline to have any games worth playing.

These things are early nokia phone game tier. Novelties at best. For consoles the NES is when you can argue that games start becoming worth playing. What fucking Atari game can live up to even SMB1? Let alone Zelda, Ninja Gaiden, Contra, etc.

Also question, did anyone get one of Pic related?
I heard you can turn them into fairly okay Steam Machines to play indie and older games on.
No fucking way I'm buying it new, but I might get a used one

>>724837318
Yeah I got one
Its a bit shit but once you hack it, perfectly fine

>>724837318
Its really just a novelty console
Itll be worth 900 dollars in 10 years when some YouTuber starts reviewing it saying its a hidden gem

Anyway, Pong is awesome in its simplicity.
Any upgrade from its original 70s presentation is superfluous.

>>724837354
Interesting, what sorts of games you play on it?
>>724837550
I don't give a shit you fart gargling troglodyte

why do you white people literally love wasting your money on things you can get for free

>>724837661
Jaguar games mostly , like the ones they never released in the atari 50 collectoon and yars rising
Tho n64 emulators work fine on it as well
Its so weird to play a real atari console because no one cares for it

>>724835530 (OP)
I wouldn't buy that if it were 10 dollars

Because Atari gets bought and sold every couple years and they throw shit at the wall to see what sticks. Retro gaming is popular rn, but if you spend any amount of time in the space tho you'll find Atari's parent company doing a lot of shady shit like not paying people for work they did or that VCS thing which was a ripoff iirc.

>Because Atari gets bought and sold every couple years
Pretty sure they've been owned by the French for like pretty much 30 years at this point.

>>724838574
Yup and nolen bushell works there again

>>724837285
Thank you! Right on.
You missed my thread.
