gamer1682 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 It starting to actually seem that the FB3 is doomed to hit the shelves. At first even though the window for december/holiday release didn't cut it; we still had hope. Then I started a petition to at least get the FB3 on the shelves, even if it meant next year (gasps). Its practicly been over a month since we've gotten any word of shipment or progress and its been a year since work on the FB3 began, Im beginning to really lose hope. They may say third times a charm but Im only really seeing the dusty life on the didn't make it cut shelves. Im sorry Curt, but if you dont say otherwise, I and probably the rest of the forums have lost hope on this project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was pretty much understood that the FB3 is not happening and the hardware was never finished? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt Vendel Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 FB3 is already started, waiting on Atari to make some internal decisions on 07' They just got a new CEO and I've been in for a few meetings over the last 30 days, no specific timelines on the FB3, only bringing it up as part of some other topics while at Atari, they have a lot of work to do to get fully back on their feet as you can imagine, so I'll keep everyone posted as soon as I have some more definitive news.

+ls650 Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 FB3 is already started, waiting on Atari to make some internal decisions on 07' Here's hoping! I have an FB2 hooked up to my TV as I write this - I'll definitely buy an FB3 if it comes to light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geosteve Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I still intent to purchase a FB3 whenever it may happen, so this is good news to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxglove9 Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I can definitely wait some more for its release. It's good news that the project isn't dead yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieAtari Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 (edited) All I can say is - Wooohoooo. I bought a new NTSC-capable TV and power transformer just so I could play the FB2 I have on order from the States and will further justify the purchase with the addition of the FB3 when it comes out. Crikey, that's great news, thanks Curt. RIP Steve Irwin. Edited September 11, 2006 by AussieAtari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havok69 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Great news - I hope it makes it to production, I will definitely buy it. I learned how to program in Basic on an Atari 800 - my friend had a 400 also. That would be a real kick to have one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcrowe Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 More time to work on it, I guess. Curt's the man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
