Flojomojo Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 The TV console has a lot of 2600 Jr style. I think the Atari 50 is my limit for this stuff but I’m interested in how it does. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if there can be better packages that include ALL systems (arcade, 2600, 5200, 7800, A8, ST, Lynx, and Shaguar) that would be very enticing. Apart from that, though, not so much.

gespy Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 The MyArcade Gamestation Pro is up for pre-order at select retailers. Like here at Office Depot: https://www.officedepot.com/a/products/2589311/My-Arcade-GameStation-Pro-Atari-Retro/ If you look at the photo, it looks like they added a paddle to the controller! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gespy Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 (edited) Here is a new image of the system with the controllers. The top right button, is that a paddle? Edited August 3 by gespy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 I think it might be. That feature, along with the potential for a low price or close outs, might make me consider getting this thing. Even though I have all of its games in other formats already. Is anyone else a little surprised at how Atari seems to keep finding new people to buy old stuff? I’d think the market were saturated years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerseystyle Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Uh-oh, it’s got dynamic LED lights on the controller! This will summon Alvarado from the Stygian depths to somehow screw the whole thing up For $99 I’d pick this up, especially with those paddles on the controllers. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekkiELO Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 (edited) Originally they were not suppose to be, but now it says Atari 5200 on the box so I guess this now includes those games like Atari 50?! Game highlights out of 50 listed... Play these legendary Atari games Asteroids (arcade, 2600, 7800 or all?) Breakout (arcade, 2600 or both?) Canyon Bomber (arcade, 2600 or both?) Centipede (arcade, 2600, 7800 or all?) Dark Chambers (2600, 7800 or both?) Drag Race (Activision or homebrew?) Fast Eddie (2600) Gravitar (arcade, 2600 or both?) I, Robot (arcade) Lunar Lander (arcade, 2600 or both?) Major Havoc (arcade) Millipede (arcade, 2600, 5200 or all?) Missile Command (arcade, 2600, 5200 or all?) Orbit (?)

I’d think the market were saturated years ago. I agree... yet I want it. I have plenty of 2600 options already (R77, AFB2, AFB2 modded, AFB9 CFW, 7800, and of course Stella) and yet I find myself wanting to buy this one. I guess as long as there are chumps like me out there they'll keep releasing these things. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously only a small chunk of that group would be interested in this controller but I'd imagine they'd sell a decent number to PC emulation enthusiasts as well. Those sticks would be perfectly fine for playing most of the games from the NES/SMS era and prior. Sell them at half the price of the VCS Classic Joysticks. I don't know how many VCS units they sold, but I do know those classic sticks are sold out everywhere while the modern gamepad is readily available. The VCS sticks are going for high prices on the secondary market so it would seem somebody out there wants those controllers or a reasonable facsimile. All it would take would be a basic USB receiver peripheral and they could make it work with most modern consoles as well as PC operating systems, VCS, Evercade VS, etc. Edited September 1 by famicommander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
