AnakiMana Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 (edited) Whether you like or dislike ANY of the many iterations of Atari, the Atari VCS (2020) is an "Atari System" made by today's Atari company. Therefore it should not be lumped into the "Modern Consoles" section with Xbox, Playstation and Switch. Even Flashback, made by AtGames rather than Atari, is in the "Atari Systems" section. AtGames produced these in cooperation with (the very same) today's Atari. Shouldn't today's Atari be even more eligible to be there? Thank you.

Mockduck Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I agree, it probably should, although there is some precedent of the Atari forum being for historical consoles + Flashback due to personal ties in the community to people working on it. However, I'd much rather it be here and useful than over there and be a continuation of the nonsense, so fine by me either way. Eventually, I bet it ends up there, but not until some minds shift.

justclaws Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Either way, it needs to be at least linked from one to the other. I worked it out - it's a modern Atari system! Nostalgia isn't what it used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Flashback units are just emulations of atari inc systems from the 1970s and 1980s. I would separate out the dedicated consoles and other home electronic games of the 1970s from the flashbacks. Atari arcade game discussions aren't in the atari section either.

+LS650 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 IMHO it's more of a "modern console" than an "Atari Console" - although it's certainly debatable... Why is there a need to move the forum over to the historical section? I don't see the benefit of moving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyprian Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 as mentioned before VCS is Atari console, therefore should be in "Atari Systems" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
