buy an ad.
who still buys things like this? the gen x numale who doesn't know how to emulate audience still exists?
I'm sure the one odd boomer and 3 gen-xers are really happy about this
>>724835530So, is this a good version of Pac-Man or the shitty-ass OG Atari version?
>>724835608Two posts in and the emuvegans are here.
>>724835690Shitty ass
>>724835690it'll likely be both the 2600 version and the 7800 version on one cartthe 2600+ is essentially an ancient android TV box (Rockchip 3128 quad core ARMv7 chip, 256mb of ram and 256mb of flash storage) stuck inside a VCS shell with an extra $150 slapped on the price tag
>>724836021It can still play cartridges so still a console
>>724836021oh, seems the 7800 port is a new one they've commissioned for this multicarthttps://atari.com/products/pac-man-double-feature
>>724835530first vidya console I ever played, had a macintosh too. really should have kept them
>>724835530release atari 5200+ already fucking faggots
>>724836083it's as much of a console as the Hyperkin Retron 5 is, hopefully without the compatibility issues2600 clone hardware has been around for decades but obviously ancient ARM chips running an emulator are easier to source
>>724835530I'm glad Namco is willing to keep the most infamous conversion of their insignia game in print.For some people, legal availability is the only kind of video game preservation (I don't agree, but whatever), but Namco could've easily use copyright to memory hole it.
>>724835739>JUST LET ME CONSOOOOM
>>724835739>emuvegansThis is also emulation, retard.
>Like pacman>Hard as fuck to find stickers to put on my PC>Check around stores, can't find a hat with the nigga on it>Hey sorry boss you want fucking ATARI pacman with no wood grain (the best part)
>Atari gets all this support, even for original hardware, when Atari is too early in the video game timeline to have any games worth playing. These things are early nokia phone game tier. Novelties at best. For consoles the NES is when you can argue that games start becoming worth playing. What fucking Atari game can live up to even SMB1? Let alone Zelda, Ninja Gaiden, Contra, etc.
Also question, did anyone get one of Pic related?I heard you can turn them into fairly okay Steam Machines to play indie and older games on.No fucking way I'm buying it new, but I might get a used one
>>724837318Yeah I got oneIts a bit shit but once you hack it, perfectly fine
>>724837318Its really just a novelty consoleItll be worth 900 dollars in 10 years when some YouTuber starts reviewing it saying its a hidden gem
>>724837285https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfoJV-9VLSwAnyway, Pong is awesome in its simplicity.Any upgrade from its original 70s presentation is superfluous.
>>724837354Interesting, what sorts of games you play on it?>>724837550I don't give a shit you fart gargling troglodyte
why do you white people literally love wasting your money on things you can get for free
>>724837661Jaguar games mostly , like the ones they never released in the atari 50 collectoon and yars risingTho n64 emulators work fine on it as wellIts so weird to play a real atari console because no one cares for it
>>724835530I wouldn't buy that if it were 10 dollars
>>724837729>4chan>white
>>724837661Let me find a pic
>>724837661
>>724837285Because Atari gets bought and sold every couple years and they throw shit at the wall to see what sticks. Retro gaming is popular rn, but if you spend any amount of time in the space tho you'll find Atari's parent company doing a lot of shady shit like not paying people for work they did or that VCS thing which was a ripoff iirc.
>>724838418>Because Atari gets bought and sold every couple yearsPretty sure they've been owned by the French for like pretty much 30 years at this point.
>>724838574Yup and nolen bushell works there again
>>724837285Thank you! Right on.You missed my thread.>>724791373>>724837605This is such a cope.
>>724837318it has a dual core embedded ryzen with vega 6 (I think) graphics. later models are locked down to shit in regards to RAM (some won't boot without the exact sticks of ram that shipped with the system) and they even locked down "PC mode" to the point where you had to buy a $100 dongle to unlock itmost $100 mini PCs could outperform it and are less of a hassle to deal with
