etrader99 Posted July 24, 2005 Author Share Posted July 24, 2005 My excitement is running out.. Im waiting and waiting but no flashback 2 yet. I thought this was supposed to go on sale at 9 eastern time? It wasnt on during their 9-10 segment. What gives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstulir Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 I had the pleasure of working with Curt on Flashback 2, and I am dying to see how they promote it tonight on QVC. I'm a little disappointed to see they got the name wrong. The name was changed from "Flashback 2.0" to "Flashback 2" quite some time ago. I'd like to call Curt right now and see if he is watching. I don't dare do it though. I imagine he is in "maximum geek mode" right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalH Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Oh yeah, you know you're a geek when you added QVC to your DVR's record list so as to ensure that you get to see a retro game machine getting airtime =P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 I hope somebody is going to record this. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro Rogue Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 I recorded it, DVD quality with the PVR on my PC. Anyone want to host it when it's done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an Atari-related meeting in NYC tomorrow that I am still prepping for right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scogey Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 well...first...the system looked great on tv, and seems to be selling like hotcakes, but I was hoping to see some caverns of mars or lunar lander or pong footage. from watching it i saw asteroids deluxe (looked great!), missle command, pittfall, river raid, centipede and millepede. Other than the dissapointment of not seeing any of the new titles, and that annoying hyper dude with the santa hat, I thought the presentation was good.

LocalH Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Yeah, I'm not going to spread my DVR recordings, since it's not a Tivo but a cable DVR, and the bitrate is only 4.85Mbit/s MPEG-2 with 128kbps MPEG-1 Layer II audio (yuck). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supercat Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 millepede Was the player represented by a box (i.e. the "ball") or by a shaped sprite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
