Zonie Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 I just can't see spending a grand on this. I get they will most likely appreciate, but I'm not that hardcore of a collector, and I'd never sell it anyway, so there is no appreciation in value to me monetarily. Same thing with Lego sets, of which sometimes I buy two, with intent to sell the second one when it at least doubles to cover the cost, but I never sell those either. The least this set could have is a box to hold it all together like a "boxed set", no? I don't see that on the website. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+groundtrooper Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I can not believe how inept Atari is to let that Asteroids box out to the public with a screenshot that is clearly not the 2600 version of Asteroids. Actually I am not shocked. They released thousands of carts with the PCBs in backwards. 🙄 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sramirez2008 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) Asteroids is my favorite coin-op and I have all of the versions that I need in my collection. I also have homebrew versions for the Colecovision, Intellivision and Vectrex. Edited August 19, 2023 by sramirez2008 Vectrex 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mockduck Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 This reminds me I really need to get Heavy and 4 switch Tele-games units soon. Also, sadly, two power supplies short at the moment. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, already ordered. Price isn't that bad, really, and of course I'm buying it. I didn't pick up the Joystick pack yet as I have so many controllers, but the completionist in me will probably order one eventually. Did pick up the Paddle set w/4 in one game cart and the Berzerk Enhanced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Questions of importance mostly related to compatibility (Harmony, Concerto, Robot Tank, Bank Switching, etc). But...definitely intrigued. Based on the compatibility list and the fact that they include a dip-switched-based multi-cart, I suspect no flash carts and no cartridges with special chips outside of Pitfall II. That's not unusual for an emulation-based cart dumper. Overall, I really like the system. It's just a shame they didn't update the joystick with a second button for compatibility with the 7800 games that require them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an R77 (with the community build installed) and a VCS 800 that I primarily use for emulation (Stella, Altirra and A7800). At this point, if any of these devices are unable to play ARM enhanced games, I’m out. Note: Its nice that it looks like an Atari. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 13 hours ago, TwinChargers said: Its a shame that they lost the Namco games pretty much immediately after launch. I'd say that was one of the largest draws were the Namco titles. I'm more than happy to play all the Taito and Midway games, but advertising all the new ways to play Pac-Man (with challenges) and having it taken away was a bummer. I've read that Antstream is trying to take care of the issue, but its one of those things where you would have thought it would have been addressed before launching. 1 hour ago, digdugnate said: i was wondering about this when the Namco avatars were there, but not the Namco games. 20 hours ago, Gunther said: https://twitter.com/AtariAge/status/1693626317827195021?s=20 17 hours ago, joeatari1 said: Yup, looks like @Mockduck and @sramirez2008 are going to have another variant to buy... 7 hours ago, Gunther said: It *might* be the Polymega Remix, or it might not be... 48 minutes ago, Mockduck said: Yes, already ordered.
