Dano312 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 So excited to see this game released and set to run on 2600+ But when I saw the 500 game run silver box addition at new games pricing, I melting into a pile of disappointment. I'm hoping for a normal release version that us poor folk can enjoy. If I were to buy this edition, I'd put it somewhere and never open it as a collector release. I just can't justify either option. Not play, or pay premium and open it destroying its sealed value. Come on guys ☹️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkarner Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Gotta say, these are the games Atari should be releasing. Not $100 re-releases of common $2 games. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari Dogs Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 I thought this was a 2600 game but would only work on a 7800. Is that correct? Will this game work on a regular 2600? Or am I misremembering things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dano312 Posted October 7, 2023 Author Share Posted October 7, 2023 I'm not really that knowledgeable about what power these new issued games have. The original 2600 was pretty strong, but never really fully let to show that. Restrictions with RF too. 7800 had more power and could play 2600 carts too. These mew release have improvements galore. Sound was poor on both old consoles. The 2600+ can really shine with everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 (edited) Its good new games are coming out. But it would be nice if the prices were not high like back then also. Edited October 7, 2023 by 0078265317 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dano312 Posted October 7, 2023 Author Share Posted October 7, 2023 Oh my! I think they've kinda lost there wallet minds. But I'm only wowed at t Save Mary. I think I'd really love this in the 30 dollar range, grudgingly buy it at 40, but 59? I can't. Not many will want one game for the whole test of their days. This is an appeal to release a standard version in my world pricing. At the only 500 made silver box, I could, but I don't have 20 years to wait for this to become someone's auction item. I do love Atari. And am an advocate of the potential of the plus console. Even 7800 games are 🥶🤯 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razzie.P Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 11 hours ago, T.A.P. said: Dang, it already sold out. Yep. My first thought was "well this is cool..." but are they only releasing those 500, or is there another "not catering to collectors" edition gonna happen? If this is it, then I'll go back to not giving a crap what they do. A very small release at premium pricing sends the message of "we don't really care about the game... we're just aiming to woo the collector." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dano312 Posted October 8, 2023 Author Share Posted October 8, 2023 I'm hoping too. Collector copies will be sold jacked up prices soon. I'd like an updated, non silver edition to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny- that's how I feel about Porsche (and others)- if they truly were about the joy of driving- etc- they would sell as many as they could build....and stop the price point gouging.

Dano312 Posted October 9, 2023 Author Share Posted October 9, 2023 I must disagree on the shame of re-releasing of $2 games. This "is" just what the whole Atari collection needs. When these old games came out we had RF connection and some really rushed releases. 100s maybe. But Atari and new fresh minds can recreate these carts. Basically remastered. New hdmi, New sound and effects/affects. Like a 100lb weakling hitting the gym and showing of the new him. On the contrary. Great new ways to play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sold out, and the rest of the "collectors" carts from their shop are "USA Exclusive". I preordered an Atari 2600+, but sometimes I feel like cancelling this preorder when I see here Atari wants to do nothing for people outside USA Edited October 9, 2023 by scelbi8h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dano312 Posted October 9, 2023 Author Share Posted October 9, 2023 I'd say you'll be fine if you're talking the 2600+ for it plays them all Overseas and North America games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dano312 Posted October 9, 2023 Author Share Posted October 9, 2023 I see. Hoping they address that. Wouldn't be much of a resurgence if they don't supply. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KainXavier Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 I don't know if it'll apply to Save Mary, but @TrogdarRobusto did seem to imply that the XP line would be re-released at a more affordable price when I asked him about it in the Q&A thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dano312 Posted October 10, 2023 Author Share Posted October 10, 2023 That would be the best reply. I needed some fuel to even think that I m8ssed an only opportunity to get it, just to play. 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dano312 Posted October 10, 2023 Author Share Posted October 10, 2023 But that's not my preference at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KainXavier Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 I'm not sure if it's something you'd be interested in, but you can also play Save Mary on the Nintendo Switch or the PlayStation Vita via the Atari Flashback Classics collection. (The Switch version can be had for ~$20.) The game's also available on PS4 and Xbox One via Atari Flashback Classics vol. 1. (There were three volumes / games released, and all three were combined into a single game for the Switch and the Vita.) Failing all of that, every Atari Flashback plug-and-play device features the game except the very first model. (Wikipedia has an excellent breakdown of which games are included on each device.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
