OldSchoolRetroGamer Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Yeah actually two other topics, my only suggestion? Don't get too excited for any announcements from Atari, they no longer are or will ever be the Atari we knew and loved, just companies whoring out the name to grab attention, time to remember fondly and move on....... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 It doesn't sound very awesome. http://www.gamebandminecraft.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+kheller2 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Why does this sound like an 8GB USB drive with some special software that syncs and copies folders for you? It does't seem to be a watch where you can actually play them on your wrist -- the faq for mind craft even implies you need to have it plugged int to play games on your computer. I could be reading this wrong... but just looking at the minecraft version that is all it is along with some special tools to change the display on the band. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I haven't even touched it, and I'm already uncomfortable. Gameband is giving me an allergy, what do I do? Gameband is made of a durable and high quality TPU material similar to that used in high-end watches. The clasp is made of stainless steel. As with any type of jewelry, some people may experience allergies. There are several things that can cause an allergy, such as a nickel sensitivity, reactions to bacteria that can accumulate, a reaction between Gameband and your soap or perspiration, or an allergy to the material of the wristband. If you detect any itching or irritation, take off your Gameband immediately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarioX Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Why would anyone want to play a game on a 1/2-inch screen? I can't imagine that to be any fun at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back when I was a kid, it was cool to play those on school buses. Something like that now in the smartphone age, I'm not so sure... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Back when I was a kid, it was cool to play those on school buses. Something like that now in the smartphone age, I'm not so sure... There was something magical about electronics on the bus. Especially if you had previously ridden without them. I used to bring my TRS-80 Pocket Computer 1 with. That's why it's so special to me these days. Best of times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never rode the bus, but used to play mine during class, especially when there was a substitute. Would get passed around to a few friends before some dummy would get caught and it was taken away for the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I thought this was shit hot when I was in 6th grade. I had the black plastic one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+GoldLeader Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 The red one with the Atari logo does look kind of cool... But I don't have money to burn and if I did, I think this would be low on my list of priorities....Very low. I'm actually having more memories of how awesome that Pac Man watch is! But I Never really liked wearing a watch. Aside from the novelty of my red LED watch back when that was futuristic, ...or my LCD watch that played monophonic casio versions of 2 Beatles songs. Or maybe the joy I felt looking at my watch in Junior High and realizing class was almost out, which I also did by looking up (at the clock on the wall). Nope, any time I wore a watch, I felt I could feel the constraints of time...Binding,...This man-made entity, stealing my life seconds at a time....Watching the sands of the hourglass drain until at long last I would shuffle off of this mortal coil and wish all good friends a final goodbye. Thanks Kickstarter, You made me think of Death! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
