Osgeld Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 I agree totally. Plus I have a Flashback 2. Some day I'm going to transplant its innards to my heavy six (which has seen better days) and then I play my games. I had a flashback 2 with a broken case, and a 2600Jr with a rotten motherboard and smooshed them together 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SignGuy81 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 cart slot action and all man, it was kinda weird ... in a hawt way I'm sure even though the motherboard was bad in the Jr you will get someone say you ruined the Jr or someone will complain that the flashback 2 isn't compatible with all games and get a "why would you do that?" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SignGuy81 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 (edited) I can't wait to see if someone is going to take the innards of the ataribox* and put it in a 2600. It would probably take someone with money to blow and being very bored. *If there ever is one. Edited November 25, 2017 by SignGuy81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toiletunes Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Easy! All you have to do is take the innards out of the 2600- instant Ataribox! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VladR Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 113 pages, what's new? Wait, is the following not-so-subtle-E.T.-reference GIF not enough of an entertainment ?!? Certainly the following one is! Looks like I reproduced the forum quote bug again - the above vid is from FlojoMojo (not CPUWIZ) ... Honestly, for an AtariBox (if there ever is one!), to actually deliver more fun than this thread does - with each passing week, that's an unfair tall order ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osgeld Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 You ruined a Jr!! Why, they aren't compatible with a lot of stuff? cause, you two guies gota problem with that? yea that's what I thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinks Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I hope it comes with pong AND tank. That would be great. Worth 399. Ya know when kids come over they want to play 7800.. food fight, centipede,galaga, and ms. pac man. I hear laughing the whole time. Then thry play Mario wii whatever. I hear angry kids looking for controller batteries, frustration about the overly complicated controls and game. Retro wins for fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I try to get my daughter to play the Atari she will flat out tell me it is a piece of crap and instead turn on her Wii U or either of my Xboxes instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 The kids I know aren't into controller-type games at all, not even "Mario Kart 8," which is the most universally playable and beautiful thing ever. The one thing that brings everyone together, all ages, is "Kinect Party," which I downloaded for free almost ten years ago. The "Just Dance" games are a very distant second place. The 360 isn't getting unplugged anytime soon, it seems. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first part about asking for pong and tank was a joke. The second not a joke.They love atari. They watched the movie pixels well over 20 times they like the pac man dk galaga centipede. The 7800 gives them 2 player team options so makes it lots of fun. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raticon Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 25 days left... That is if you live in some southern country or state. Here there has been full blown winter for 1 month. Last week saw the first real snow storm of the season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osgeld Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 not quite 93 here but mid 70's which is fun considering a couple nights ago it was cold enough to freeze shallow water 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VladR Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Cool, something new to argue about, was 93 here today. That's, like, brutal hot for late Nov. even for SoCal, no ? I was just bitching how hot it was today and had to take down the jacket and It was 37F (not a comfortable 18F that was just few days ago) No wonder, it's going so slow with AtariBox : ))))) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SignGuy81 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 (edited) Could be my internet connection this morning but the Ataribox website is taking forever to load. EDIT: Top tab red still spinning. Middle of screen the dots going around in circle still. The page is partly loaded if I scroll down just something at the top isn't loading.
