  1. Oh gotcha. Hmm.. Are the Retro VGS guys involved in that project too? I think that's probably a different team. Or maybe the Coleco holdings guys were trying to farm it out of China and it didn't work.
  2. What makes you say that the Coleco tabletops won't return? Do we know that for sure?
  3. I think it's a hardwired SNES controller instead of that generic Wii U controller. Why?
  4. I LOVE this new idea! Good luck with this nosweargamer!
  5. I agree with you but what do we know for sure about this? Reading a post suggesting something on Facebook doesn't really mean it's true. This still seems like merky waters to me. Kudos go to the Retro VGS team for the $135 price, for the games, for demoing at the NY Toy Show, and for doing what they said they'd do to turn it all around. I'd like to see more though. I'd like to see them outline everything really easy peasy on their website so we know what's what. Seems like what they're really missing are the dies to the Jaguar controllers which would have the numbers on it but they'd probably get ripped for that too.
  6. I wonder if they will have sections for toys and leather?
  7. Maybe the Jaguar made John Romero it's bitch? That's probably what happened.
  8. Cool Idea LBC I like it! Haven't seen many mods in the forums yet.
  9. The new curvy Barbie should be sold in Happy Meals.

      I had to look this up and all I found was "normal" looking Barbie.

  10. Intellivision III should not be confused with INTV System III shown above. INTV System III is just the original Intellivision spruced up a bit Intellivision had two more systems in development when Mattel pulled the plug. Intellivision III was in development and intended for 1984. It would've had 320 x 192 resolution, nearly infinite colors, 64 sprites on screen at once, and 3 colors per sprite plus the background. Graphically it would have been a leap over Atari 5200 and ColecoVision, closer to the 7800. Intellivision III also beat Atari with bundled wireless controllers and home stereo connectivity.

  15. That is so COOL! Not just the Intellivision, which is cool enough, but to see all of this unfold in the forums. I can't tell you guys how surreal it is to see this community take off like this. What a great bunch of people you are.

  17. Guys, it’s time to share our love of Atari with the world. On the 26th day of each month, we’re setting aside a day to celebrate Atari, share great games with great friends, and remind the world why Atari's still so awesome. We're calling it "Atari Day". Here's how it works: 1. Wear Atari stuff on the 26th day of each month Shirts, hats, wristbands, bookbags, whatever. Put Atari stickers on your notebooks, bikes, the rear window of your car, the front door of your favorite bar, anywhere cool really. Let people see your enthusiasm. Take photos and post to your social media accounts with the hashtag #AtariDay. Create memes, print your own Atari stickers, make something new. If you need a T-shirt, you can usually find Atari stuff at Target, online, or in most any mall in America. Wearing Atari stuff, you’ll usually see a few smiling faces coming up to you and offering positive remarks. Each smiling face is another chance to share the fun of Atari with an old friend, or maybe make a new one! 2. Start a conversation If people come up to you and say they love your shirt, just start talking to them! It's easy to get people excited about Atari. People love video games. And a lot of people still have really fond memories of Atari! They just need to be reminded. 3. Share a game Let's say your friend said something about your shirt, you guys started talking about Atari and now they're truly excited. You should be as awesome to them as you can possibly be. Share a game with them! Offer to lend them your Flashback console for a week. Better yet, invite them over for a game! Get a 4-Player round of Warlords going. Play a few of your favorite Atari games. Snacks, beer, and a retro movie could make a night out of it. Do something fun and memorable. Make it easy for people to want to enjoy Atari. Show them where they can get games and offer recommendations on your favorite titles. Offer them a few of your spare carts to get them started on their collection! A FEW TIPS: Don’t be cultish, creepy or intrusive. You’re not recruiting people to a religion, you’re just having fun! Have a few suggestions ready for where to go online to learn more about Atari, what games to search for on eBay, what to avoid, how to hook up an Atari, etc. Remember, we are all "Ambassadors" of Atari's legacy. The Atari we knew and loved is gone. It's up to all of us to make sure the fun games and awesomeness of Atari isn't forgotten with time. Make "Atari Day" an event on social media. On the 26th day of each month we’ll be posting events to Facebook, and sharing photos across social media using the hashtag #AtariDay. We hope you’ll join us in doing the same! We may even hold a contest for the "Best Atari Day Photo" and reward that person with a prize. WHY DO THIS? The idea is to share Atari with the world! People who remember Atari will go “Oh yeah! That was so much fun!” and those too young to remember Atari might discover it for the first time. The more people entering the World of Atari, the better! It's always fun to welcome new people into classic gaming, and Atari’s legacy could use a little help. In some people’s eyes the Atari we know and love doesn’t hold the best reputation. So much of what the rest of the world sees about Atari right now is negative. Documentaries about their failure, Atari garbage dumps in the news, criticism and crappy games. Now is the time to help people rediscover Atari and let them see how much fun we have with this stuff. We’re picking a day, the 26th of each month, to do just that! Other gaming companies actively build on their legacy. They release new games based on old characters and franchises, and they make it exciting and fun to like their stuff. We wish the same was true with Atari, but unfortunately it’s going to be left up to all of us to make that happen. Let's do this!
