RickR Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 Incredible. Also incredible is that price point of $25. I've added myself to the waitlist. DegasElite, socrates63 and Sabertooth 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari 5200 Guy Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 Wow! The 2600 is getting to move into the modern times. Very impressive. Now if that could be done on the A8 computers. RickR, socrates63, Sabertooth and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DegasElite Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 It probably could. I once saw a demo of a clip from "Tron" on a Side3 cartridge. So, video can be streamed on the A8. Sabertooth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socrates63 Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 Cool! I wonder what Steam Boat Willie would be like watching on the 2600. Added to the wait list. RickR, DegasElite and Sabertooth 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
