Lord Helmet Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 I'm sure it will be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindfield Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Now the big question is whether or not Atari's pulled through with a 2600/7800-on-a-chip or whether it's just another rehashed NES handheld. With any luck they'll have listened to the less-than-stellar feedback and noticed the cheap eBay units being pawned off and gotten wise.

Lord Helmet Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 If that's the case maybe it won't be a complete piece of crap after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Vendel Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 If Gamestop has posted that, then the press release should be released shortly, I will hint at what will be inside: Several Homebrews from the Community Several NEW, never before seen Atari arcade game ports I'll reveal more as allowed.

Chickybaby Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Mindfield -I can tell all for a fact - Nintendo NOT Inside Curt I am sorry but I had ta do this - so is it a Genesis inside then? On a more serious level it sounds like quite a few people had their hand in this one and especially with a few of the comments posted I am very curious indeed! And also not to get my hopes up but this sounds like something that may become a "must buy" at some point. I almost can't wait to find out!

Dan Iacovelli Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 just noticed the release date is day before vgs'05. anyways, I hope this system is better then other remakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Hmmm This one might be worth picking up! I think it's great modern homebrew games are included!! That alone makes it worth supporting, sounds like maybe Atari did listen to all the griping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+FujiSkunk Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 If they're including homebrews, I wonder if there will be any mention of the Sabotage manual's origin... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Tyler Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 So this is going to be a whole new set of games instead of a redone Flashback with some new stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Vendel Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Old Atari favorites, homebrews and some brand new never before available 2600 ports of favorites from Atari, something to interest just about everyone. Curt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonie Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 If there are homebrews inside, it pretty much concludes that the hardware is probably correct. It also means that the right people were at least consulted with if their games are in it. I'm eagerly awaiting it. It also means that the "classic" flashbacks will drop in price soon.

Trip_Cannon Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Any 5200 / 7800 games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orangest Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 so no material stolen from atari age in this new model's documentation then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 so no material stolen from atari age in this new model's documentation then? No but you might see a familiar name or two mentioned in there... Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdie3 Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Cool! Does this mean that I'd better quickly snatch up as many AtariAge VCS homebrews as I can because they are going to be pulled out of the store soon due to a possible agreement that a few homebrews are going to be in the new Flashback? The reason I ask is because I missed out on Saboteur by only a few days and that was a major disappointment. I think there are probably a few of us here who would not want to miss out on anything like that again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 I'm looking forward to seeing this next iteration of the Flashback. From what I know thus far, classic gamers are going to be much happier with this version than the first generation Flashback. This second generation Flashback has quite a bit of potential, and I can see myself owning several of them. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Mitchell Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 This second generation Flashback has quite a bit of potential, and I can see myself owning several of them. Well if we can hack it .. I will get one! I still have plans to make the most of my C64 hack! Rob Mitchell, Atlanta, GA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariman Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 So does anyone know (or can anyone say) whether or not this one will have a cartridge port? Either way, you can bet I'll be picking one up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariman Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 I'm also curious as to what sort of hardware this thing will be running - I've not heard anything as of yet that has hinted to it other than a few 2600 games. (unless I've missed something) 2600 or 7800? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Vendel Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 So does anyone know (or can anyone say) whether or not this one will have a cartridge port? Yes and No... Curt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
