Cool story. The guys who wrote that book can be excessively pompous to the rest of us though. If you don't know every detail of every story or you don't bow down to kiss the ring.... or say you'd like a refund for something you paid them $200 for in 2010 and never received.... then they talk down to you like you're a meaningless nothing of a person. Whip out an old Atari id badge though and it's a different story.

They don't have a prototype yet? I didn't know that until right now. That's not good.. So when they showed us The Adventures of the Tiny Night it wasn't running on real hardware?

Man this was an enjoyable read. Great review, thanx for making it a fun one!

prices are not just for system but to help fund company and future developement as well.
Uh huh. Tell that to critics of the pharmaceutical companies. That's not how economics work. Imagine if Nintendo sold the Wii U for $699 "to help fund the company and future development of the NX." They'd go out of business.
Most successful companies make a decent profit on their product and reinvest much of that profit back into the company, to develop new products and cover R&D expenses. They know how much a majority of people are willing to pay for their product, and they release it without jacking up the price beyond what most people are willing to spend.
There are only so many people willing to pay that much money, and $300+ is a lot of money to most gamers especially if there's a wife who thinks that's too much money to spend on a "toy". Nosweargamer points out just how low on the totem-pole this purchase would be, too. I don't want to be the naysayer and I like these guys and what they're doing but that's a lot of money to spend on something like that. They need to do actual market research. I wish them the best of luck but they've priced it out of my price range.

Why on earth would anybody pay that much?

Man that's a nice Atari 8-Bit setup you have going on

I thought it would be cool if we could post photos and share stories of our first car
My first car was AMC Eagle 4 x 4 station wagon. I think it was a 1986 model. AMC owned Jeep then and put a Jeep powertrain in an older AMC Sportabout wagon design. It had lots of power, room for all your gear, drove like a car and it could plow through mud and snow like a Jeep. My friends and I would take this on camping trips and tailgates and had lots of good times at a drive in movie theater that was still around back then. I can't find a picture of it right this sec but here's what it looked like in the brochure:

Atari ST is definitely under appreciated! It had a lot of Mac features for a fraction of the price. That's why they called it a Jackintosh!

Myst was the reason I bought a Jaguar CD.
People like to hate on that system, compare it to a toilet, whatever. If you played Myst on the Jaguar when it was first released you knew it was the best version of Myst you could get your grubby hands on.
The Jag Bar is awesome btbfilms76, keep it coming!

Well, I googled that address and I'm starting to wonder how just how deep this rabbit hole goes. The first search result that came up for me when I googled the page brought me here:
http://www.welivesecurity.com/2011/11/09/facebook-likes-and-cold-call-scams/
It's a webpage that exposes scams and fraud, and from the sounds of it there's been a lot of scams coming out of that address. One of the paragraphs said this:
eFIX’s web page lists an office in Glasgow under the name eFIX Ltd, at 8901 Marmora Road, Glasgow, D04 89GR. However, a search at Companies House, while it did turn up several entries with somewhat similar names, didn’t find one in Glasgow, and the address doesn’t ring true. The postcode is a fake, and we can’t find a Marmora road in Glasgow (let alone one long enough to hold nearly 9000 street addresses). In fact, the same address turns up in a great many other contexts (design consultancies, music, accountancy, even a buffet service), suggesting the use of some kind of template/boilerplate. It also suggests that it’s not only PC support companies that are suspiciously shy about their real whereabouts. Or else 8901 must be an awfully big building. Of course, it could be an accommodation address for multiple businesses, but that doesn’t explain why the street address itself is so elusive

Woops my bad that was a typo.... I fixed it above, here's the link: http://www.atarigames.co.uk

This is a weird website. It looks like a corporate website for "Atari's" European office but it makes no sense to me. They don't have any games, they are using different branding, it doesn't look for feel like the "Atari" that's around today. They talk a lot about building apps for putting you to sleep I'm not even kidding. I get the feeling this is some other crappy little company that licensed the Atari name to use to peddle their wares. Anybody know any better?
