    Gameplay only of Neo Breakout from Atari 50. Played with a VCS Classic Controller. The spin function took my score from 20K on the PS4 to 150K+ on the VCS!

    I'm on my leave right now and naively thought I would be able to get a game in here and there between her naps. What naps?!🤣

      Yes, that's the Atari sitewide sale which began the past week. I'm talking about the VCS console e-store. VCS games should be on sale starting tomorrow!

    For those interested in this sort of thing, here is the required mid-year report for Atari SA as of 9/30/2022.  Interesting mentions of the VCS for you tea leaf readers out there.

    These results are ahead of the release of Atari Mania, Missile Command Recharged and Atari50 so a lot of costs ahead of revenues. Assuming their Year End report for March won't be as bleak.

      For the Hardware section, I think it means the VCS is still in production...just manufactured externally now.  That's how I read it anyway.

      The financial numbers are not good.  I hope every gamer here who appreciates the new direction of Atari understands...WE NEED TO SUPPORT THEM as best we can by buying hardware and software.  The games they've been producing have been outstanding.

      You're 💯 @RickR!  The last few years have been the best output from Atari since at least the Hasbro-era, if not the Tramiel-era.  Fans who appreciate the change in direction need to support the company.

      The Recharged titles have been excellent and new IP like Kombinera is inventive and in the spirit of old Atari, and the VCS is a great achievement from such a small team. I understand skepticism among old skool fans, the XP debacle and crypto.  That said, credit where credit is due.

    Here's a link to @Davpa streaming Atari 50 on the VCS. As folks may know, Davpa now works for Atari on the VCS team. No official release date but word on Atari's Discord server is that Atari is working to address some backend/server issues with the VCS store ahead of release. The Atari 50 portion starts around the 32 minute mark. https://www.twitch.tv/villainous_davpa/v/1680667410?sr=a&t=1943s

    Out now is the VCS store for $8.99!

    I was thinking the other day, if you include the Flashback Friday titles, the modern VCS has had more official releases than the 5200, 7800, Jaguar, XEGS (labeled) and Lynx. Pretty crazy, right?

    Here's a candid two part video interview with Pedra developer Ian Weeks from Kraz Productions. Part 1: Part 2:

    I'm a big fan of the Jr. from an industrial design standpoint. It really looks sharp and timeless in a way most hardware does not. That all black variation was the Irish market version IIRC. I've always wanted to get my mits on one of those! Going to take a guess that the RF shield is just missing from the top pic. The tab locations are still visible. Anyway,great to see some appreciation for the Jr!

    The next two XP carts are up at LRG and Atari. Asteroids and Gravitar complete the 10 game collection. I wonder what's next for the line?
