Are the international costs that are added on not to bad then? Or are you just biting the bullet!? It is temping. I am going to try and wait until they realise that Atari is an intertnational brand... Oh which joystick is that? I've been tempted to order but just under £60 for a single cart with shipping seems a lot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microjak Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Totally agree we need these homebrews etc in the UK and Europe,I would also spend far too much on them! Heck I wonder if Ben could get a load sent over and sell them from his office/garage?😀 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scifidude79 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 1 hour ago, Dr Karnov said: I'm really hoping we get UK distribution for AtariAge products this year. They are selling official Atari carts on Amazon UK for an affordable price, so it's definitely possible I hope they add distribution to the UK this year too. You guys deserve to get in on some sweet Atari homebrew action too. The 2600+ has had a strong showing in the UK for sure and Atari owns AtariAge now, so hopefully they'll make it happen. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the international costs that are added on not to bad then? Or are you just biting the bullet!? It is temping. I am going to try and wait until they realise that Atari is an intertnational brand... Oh which joystick is that? It is quite expensive to ship it to Germany too. Example: Popeye did cost 60$ Shipping 26,95$ In total 80€ Still OK but customs charge you 80€ x 19% tax = 15€ and DHL to handle it 6€. In total 101€ In the past I had to travel to customs on my own and queue up, so the 6€ are OK. They ask you whats inside the packet to declare it. Well try to explain a 24 years old what an Atarivox is 😂 Of course you can order more games together to save money on shipping, but over 150€ (games plus shipping) I have to pay toll on top. So it is a trade off, which and how many games you order in one go. The Joystick is the old model of an 8bitdo Arcade stick. I replaced their stick with the Seimitsu LS-32 which I use since 1987 and put Sanwa buttons on. I bought it for my Nintendo Switch but it has got an X Input and D Input mode as well, so I use it on the 8bitdo Genesis receiver, which is connected to a Mega7800. On my Raspi Retropie I use it with an USB cable, as the blutooth registration ist no fun on that linux. There is an successor available https://www.amazon.de/8Bitdo-Arcade-Nintendo-Switch-Windows/dp/B08GJC5WSS?th=1 But I never put hands on this one. Probably I would replace stick and buttons but depending on your needs you might be happy with it. For player two I built another DIY aracade stick with 9pol cable. By two switches I can select between 2nd button for C64, Amiga and 7800 🙂 Edited January 9 by DEANJIMMY 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can put you in touch with someone about that… On 12/14/2023 at 1:23 PM, Brad_from_the_80s said: Activision owns the Imagic games, and there's been a license in place for several Activision and Imagic 2600 games on the AtGames Flashback units in recent years. There was even an Atari Flashback 8 Activision Edition a few years ago. It seems like something could be done, if the financials would work. That’s not true. Activision does not own the rights to the Imagic games. When I was working for Intellivision Entertainment in the beginning of the Amico stuff - before everything went sideways, which is another story that we don’t need to get into here (I left the company in 2021) - we located the actual rights holder and had an agreement in place to remake the Imagic titles. And yes, Activision has released some Imagic titles over the years, but that was due to an arrangement with said rights holder too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well clearly Activision has had some publishing rights for some time, but sounds like Plaion/Atari would not have to deal with them in this case.
