Nesbroslash Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 It seems Albert got a little lazy when writing the description for these forum: The Atari 7800 came out after the 5200. It has a black, plastic case. It's pretty vague and obvious. Think we should get it changed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what we got after the last time some people starting arguing over the inaccuracies of the previous description for the forum. It was about the only description that nobody could complain was inaccurate in one way or another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaybird3rd Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 It's pretty vague and obvious. Think we should get it changed? We tried once; that discussion got bogged down by nitpicking 5200 and NES fans. I can appreciate the humor in the "safe" forum description we have now, but those who haven't read the earlier thread really wouldn't understand it, so I do think we need a better permanent description. I still like the most recent one I suggested: The Atari 7800 ProSystem is a contemporary of the Nintendo Entertainment System and the Sega Master System. Based on extensive feedback from Atari customers, the 7800 features a streamlined design, backward compatibility with the 2600, a powerful graphics processor, and simplified controllers.

DracIsBack Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 It seems Albert got a little lazy when writing the description for these forum: Laziness had nothing to do with it. It was a (frankly awesome) smartass response to armchair critics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevEng Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Laziness had nothing to do with it. It was a (frankly awesome) smartass response to armchair critics. Awesome is right. I had a good chuckle when I noticed the forum description change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
