Atariboy2600 Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 I know that this may never be done with this model idea from the last Flasback 2 box art but hey tell me what you guys think? ATARI! Plase make this dream unit come true! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Dude. That is the coolest. Just seeing anything related to the Atari 5200 in stores these days would blow my mind. I trust the controllers were reworked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+HatNJ Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 I 2nd it GREAT mock-up That box would look great next to my FB2 and the Console next to my FB2 ! Maybe it will come true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbanes Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 (edited) Atariboy, that is awesome! That's even better than the Intellivision Flashback mockup I did a while back! Methinks Atari could save themselves some money by contracting out their box artwork to you. Edit: One change I would have made, though. We already had the quintessential Pitfall! on the FB2. The FB3 should have Pitfall II on it. Not only will that help differentiate the product, but it will also show off the POKEY sound capabilities.

Yea Im not very good in writing words but they say a picture is worth a 1000 word and I hope every line say "Atari, Make Flaskback 3" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flojomojo Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Only 80 games? They'd better include Fractalus, Ballblazer, and Dreadnaught Factor then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekkiELO Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 (edited) Only 80 games? They'd better include Fractalus, Ballblazer, and Dreadnaught Factor then! Well, going by their pattern, its doubled everytime, Atari 10-in-1 Joystick, Atari Flashback (20) and the Atari Flashback 2 (40)!

Wow I did not knew about the doubled digite numbering I just made up the 80 part from head, seem its a normal number to use but I would like it to be 100 if it can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 I love the subtle hint at Adventure II. Awesome work, let's hope Atari let's Curt make this thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clint Thompson Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 80 games would be a hell of a lot of games! Self-centering sticks this time, right? RIGHT?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uzumaki Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Keyboard add on! 5200 is similiar enough to 800 computer that it may be possible to have a dual 5200/800. Flip a switch or select the mode in menu and the memory map will change to conform 5200 or 800 mode. Also be the first ever game console to have 3 different cart slot in one system without adapters (Left and right for 800 plus 5200) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uzumaki Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Somehow a plain vanilla standard controller looks wrong next to a 5200 style console. Not enough buttons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
