from Bill Loguidice (works with AT Games) about the upcoming holiday season AT Games coming out: "All I can say is that there is going to be an impressive third party line-up this year on the Atari and Sega systems. There will be differences though between what's on the consoles and what's on the portables." when asked about the quality of the builds... "I want to tread carefully here, obviously, but basically there will be a budget version with modest/minimal changes and a premium version with significant changes/complete overhaul. They'll have pricing to match their respective builds, although I can't really see anyone here not wanting to spend the extra for the premium model. As for build quality, that's all relative I suppose, particularly at the price points. The above only applies to the consoles. The Portables will be of the modest/minimal changes variety (and only single models), although the included games should prove extremely compelling." commenting about more homebrew games being added this year........... "This does not have to be the case. Inclusion in an official product like a Flashback would arguably give the developer a free pass. However, some homebrew devs have chosen not to work with AtGames - even with non-infringing, original creations - because they're afraid of being "noticed" for their other, infringing creations. Frankly, I consider that a bit of a simplistic viewpoint, because at least of the companies I've had limited dealings with through my AtGames and other relationships, most are either well aware of what's going on or have people who are well aware of what's going and choose to do nothing about it (and in some cases, love it). Of course, if homebrew stuff that infringed wasn't kept low key like it is (selling a few hundred copies at best), I'm sure more would suddenly start to care. It's one thing doing what is essentially fan service and it's another starting to profit in a big way from someone else's property.

Update: The AT Games insider, Bill Loguidice, has added some more info about the INTV FB2.............. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/259236-2017-flashback-speculation-thread/page-4?do=findComment&comment=3722552 "Yes, much to my surprise, there will be an INTV FB 2 (special deal I guess), but the Data East and Disney stuff is not confirmed. It's kind of jumping the gun, frankly." "OK, after having some discussions, it turns out that nothing is settled yet, either system or games. It's possible, but quite a bit still needs to be worked out to make anything a reality. So, for now, put it all in the maybe category. I'll say nothing else on the matter for now. "

AtGames is releasing a second Intellivision Flashback this fall and it will have the games you want by Data East (Burgertime, Lock 'n Chase, Bump 'n Jump, etc.) as well as the TRON games, and more! "

news of these games even made an 80's online station I listen to: http://www.retrohitmix.com/

Its funny how they keep using the phrase "tabletop games" above. They want you to think they are making something similar to the Bridge Direct handhelds (of today) or the Coleco Tabletop Arcade machines (from early 80's), but in fact they are referring to "board games"...... LOL Nice try!

Centipede®, Asteroids®, and Missile Command® are all headed to the tabletop by way of Jon Gilmour, co-designer of Dead of Winter, and his hand-picked crew of up-and-coming co-developers. Set to capture the feel of these classic titles, the Atari line of board games are fun, intense and fast-paced. While each game in the series will play differently from the others, they will all have you nostalgic for the days of being hunched over a CRT in a dark arcade with your eyes on the prize: top of the high-score chart. "Atari is one of the hallmarks of our generation," says Jerry Bennington, VP of New Product Development. "We're honored with the opportunity to be able to bring the Atari classic archive to the tabletop." “IDW Games has a fantastic history of bringing licensed products to market, and we’re thrilled to work out a partnership and see our classic games on the tabletop,” says Fred Chesnais, Chief Executive Officer, Atari. The Atari series of games will launch with Centipede in the Fall of 2017 with future titles releasing intermittently shortly after. For future details on the Atari tabletop games, follow IDW Games on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/idwgames/ Stop by the IDW Games Booth (#222) at GAMA for an exclusive first look!

I ordered this Sony PS Vita hard case from Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019ST95YK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It's cheaper than the other one I have posted earlier in this thread. It is a little bigger than the AFP but serves its purpose. Thinking about using some electrical tape over the Vita logo and ordering one of these to put over it: http://www.ebay.com/itm/181993251473 http://www.ebay.com/itm/121689578121
