OverMuch

Where do you live? I know of one in a store in Tacoma, WA, USA. I sold it to 'em.

Just saw this. Might have an extra one. I'm at work, but I'll let you know by tomorrow am.

LOL Like this thing's ever going to see retail release.

I’d gladly take that off your hands.

Haven't been around much, but found myself missing the old taco thread, so I thought I'd come by and check to see how backers were enjoying their new VCS's. Imagine my surprise. ?

I'm a little late to this ballgame, but I don't know much about Tandy computers and their collectability, and I found this post via googling "Real Talker". I bought a bunch of old electronics and found a Real Talker voice synthesizer by Colorware, Inc. amongst the other stuff, and I'm having trouble finding any info on it. Even eBay sales are pretty much nonexistent. I take it this is an uncommon item, considering the lack of info and the fact someone's making a new clone product? Thanks for any light you can shed on this.

Sooooo...call me Captain Longshot, but I'm wanting to buy TCM or Halloween (or both), but TCM takes precedence. Anybody willing to part with 'em? Thanks in advance!

I’d gladly take the Xbox games, please

THANK YOU! That was making my teeth itch. Go Army ?

Edited: On second thought, I’ll pass...but thank you much regardless. I’d love these. Will PM now. Thank you!

Duuuuuude that’s awesome. Wish it was located in the Northwest. ?

Okay, so which one of you clowns is trying to unload a boxful of speakerhats? ?

I like the cut of your jib.

Agreed in the sense that this is hearsay; the statement in the article is shoddy and unprofessional. Nobody that calls themselves a journalist would have included that until it was fact-checked, verified, and substantiated. I'm firmly on team taco, but I calls 'em like I sees 'em.

"If ye ur a treh Atari fahn, ye stick w' em." He looks sticky enough as it is. This is, without a doubt, one of the grossest things I've seen in quite awhile.

Oh, hey, don't get me wrong. Jag's my go-to as far as collecting goes. Love that thing! Buuuuuut it doesn't negate my point about its failure being unable to kill nostalgia for the old days. Oh, and hey! Check this out!: https://www.cracked.com/article_27061_atari-making-hotels-now-because-sure-why-not60.html

If the Jaguar couldn't do it, this...this....anomaly won't.

To try to sell their half-assed prototype on Pawn Stars for beer money.

Again, not being antagonistic, but you are 100% incorrect and unaware of how a basic business operates. Atari's marketing department (which, as far as I can see, doesn't exist) is responsible for creating they "hype" and brand awareness. I regret to inform you that there are no "partners" that are going to pick up the slack, especially to the degree you believe they aspire. Atari SA does not have the money or the financial backing to make a huge showing at CES 2020, or any other showing other than a fart in a hurricane. It's simply not going to happen, period.

I don't think you understand my first question. I'll just leave it be. As for the second question: You're mistaken. Even if the partners DID do that, what makes you think they could/will?

That really didn't answer my questions at all. I can tell you with absolute certainty that there is no highly confidential partner waiting to be revealed, sorry. That's not how business works.

Hi, Max. I have a few questions/opinions about this. Please don't take them as antagonistic, as I'm being completely genuine. I wonder what kind of hype machine you see Atari managing, esp. at CES 2020? I am absolutely confident that all eyes are going to be on Microsoft and Sony, and everything else will be a footnote. Beyond the built-in fanbases of the respective systems building up hype, do you think Atari could come up with the money for a media push that would make Joe and Jane Q. Public aware that the VCS exists?

Just checking in to bump the post count tell you that if you have a California Burrito near you, try their chorizo burrito and their crispy tacos. Delicious!

Regardless, I can't think of an Atari system that had any odd failure rate. Same for 3DO, CD-i, Vectrex, et al.

I've never heard of high failure rates with Atari systems, the CD-i, or the 3DO?
