Assuming it’s possible, I would selfishly love to see an Asteroids dip switch multicart. I’d like to see it include the original 7800 and 2600 ROMs as well as, the Flashback 2 Arcade Asteroids ROM. I love Asteroids, so this would be an insta-buy for me, but I realize others may not really care, and I get it. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to check out the Flashback 2 Arcade ROM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Box art by Butcher Billy for Outlaw is insanely good in my opinion Some noticable differences to the XP packaging vs the regular 'wide release' 2600+ games; 1. Y fold shrinkwrap 2. Foil backed surface print 3. Embossed game logo on front of box 4. Embossed Atari logos on spine 5. Full colour printed instruction manual See the video for the differences. Untitled video - Made with Clipchamp (8).mp4 They ripped the seal right off! That was mesmerizing! I could watch that video all day! lol.

The Asteroids have a more “Vector” look to them, instead of popcorn. Otherwise, I believe rest is the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See how many exclamation points I used! 😆 Yeah we've talked about multicarts with 2600 and 7800 games on them, but factory said increased cost and I do think our pricing needs to not increase for carts (unless it's something extra special). Plus we would then be putting a cart onto the market that wouldn't fully work with an original 2600. Neither points insurmountable if the offering was awesome, but you get what I mean 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atariman72 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 A release of the 7800 Asteroids would be an instant purchase here, then I could finally retire my ageing original 7800 with it built-in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a single rerelease of Asteroids 2600 version and a 7800 version. That would be awesome!!!!!! Not sure if that’s doable.

And as it was built in you can't buy a physical retail copy of it (unless you get the NTSC version of course). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i know i keep begging for Ikari Ikari Ikari, but theres gotta be a lot of titles to pull from, Alien Brigade, Scrapyard Dog, Midnight Mutants featuring any old man you want, and i'm sure there are a few prototypes worth eventually getting a crack at to finally bring to the masses, finished or near finished ones too... Oh i'm also sure Dark Chambers would be fun, Secret Quest is a no brainer... not enough red label love anyways... lets fix that! I wonder if atari doesnt own the rights to Air Raid... is it even as much as a copy of the game for the rights to it? Red Sea Crossing, maybe a novelty boxset of all the Adult games including the Mature Violent titles like TCM Halloween and Alien Brigade for charity... I believe in atari...
