Flojomojo Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 AtariNerd, you just described a desktop PC. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariNerd Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Yes, yes, but these would have the words Microsoft, SONY, Nintendo on them and be labeled as game consoles, so, you know - all of the important differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBerel Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 R U just punking and trolling at this point? If you asked for a refund, it wouldn't even have been processed yet. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I promise I'm not joking. I need to stop looking at that damn indiegogo page. >< Fuck man. EDIT: Changed it to just the controller pack. So I'm only buying into the controllers. Hopefully that balances shit out.. I'm really indecisive. Edited June 29, 2018 by Lodmot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariNerd Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 (edited) I must admit, I've been thinking about re-pledging for a "Classic Controller" , as it's something that even they might have trouble screwing up. There is no guarantee it will work with anything but their box, though. (I guess with enough modding, anything is possible.) The Retron '77 controller looks like it might be a nice option, too, even if one might need to cannibalize the plastic guts from a genuine or after-market controller, for occasional repairs.

Well the modern controller has to work. It's just a regular bluetooth gamepad, and the system is a standard Linux-based PC essentially. I imagine it would even work with Android if you tried pairing it with your phone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Manhattan Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Hot damn! I go away for a couple of days and I come back to another 20+ pages of circle jerking and taco posts. This thread is comedy gold. You know that you've completely disappeared up your own ass when you're willing to watch an HOUR LONG YouTube video telling you things that you already believe. Oh, and that one "insider" claiming that this whole ill-received nostalgia based cash run was merely an attempt to boost the value of NuTari penny stock. That was pure hilarity. Hey, I've got some insider trading info for you as well. Taco Bell has over a dozen items on their new dollar menu. They're delicious and filling and only cost 99 cents each! Please don't tell anyone I told you this. I've already leaked more than I can say. BTW, so I turned in that $10 scratch off ticket that I won for another two $5 tickets. I wound up winning another $20. If this keeps up I'll be able to completely recoup my losses on the Atari VCS funding by 2019. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlecRob Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Well, the good news is, there are several Sega mini consoles to choose from. Results are mixed, but they actually exist. LOL Id rather emulate genesis games on an Atari VCS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine it would even work with Android if you tried pairing it with your phone. I'm all but certain it's going to be a somewhat reskinned XB360 control pad. That would be the most compatible, and in line with stuff the manufacturer already has. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Manhattan Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Just checked the funding page. Only 12 hours remain! It's the final countdown! $2,950,931 USD raised by 11203 backers with 12 hours remaining. Place your bets now! Will there be a last minute spike in funding? Will they break 3 million? Will this topic have thousands of new taco posts? Who else is going to stick around for all the drama, the pageantry, the gnashing of teeth, and the "hey you kids get off my lawn" posts that are sure to come with the conclusion of this epic crowd funding campaign? It's a great time to be a member of Atari Age. Grab your popcorn and get ready for the fun! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lodmot Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Jesus. How old are you, guy? I'm 29. Lol. xDDD I work full time though. o u o I could definitely afford the console, but it's still quite a lot of money to just lose if it doesn't get released.

Flojomojo Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Well that explains it, your frontal lobes are still developing. Not that a millennial like yourself needs ANYthing associated with "Atari." You were a kid when big black Xbox was new. Wouldn't you rather have a throwback to that? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
