Guess they ran their brand too far into the ground. Now they gotta dig up another

brsrklf,

That “Atari” was already Infogrames buying itself a new name in the early 00s. It had already changed hands a number of times since 70s/80s Atari, and had basically nothing to do with it anymore.

dom,

Yeah i know. I meant more in terms of peope who don’t know the way these two are connected.

Atari has had some very sketchy business practices and screwed over consumers a bunch of times. Most people don’t know they are effectively the same company as infogrames

That’s a lot of money for a short nostalgia dopamine hit.

Atari is Infogrames. Theyre the same company just skinwalking as Atari.

These are just logos, names, and brands. They have no real meaning behind them. The people and the company are still the same as it always was.

lol $29 for 2600 Berserk? Look, I’m all for nostalgia, but the 2600 wasn’t even a good game console on the day it was released. Why don’t they showcase any 7800 games? At least those are much more like real arcade games. 2600 Berserk isn’t worth 29 cents, much less dollars.

Curious if they use real hardware or emulation (read carts as Roms).

Homeschooled316,

The processor listed in the specs, Rockchip 3128 SOC, is a smart tv chip.

GreenMario,

Emulation then.

roguetrick,

It can use the original carts. My Atari and intellivision consoles still work, though.

Taleya,

Same here. Never modded mine though, still uhf lol

roguetrick,

Shit I still have the original mechanical switch and TV it's connected to.

Taleya,

Tv has updated (although i do still have a crt for missile command and scope on the ol’ snes) but yup, the punch-button switch with the wood and metal chassis is my baby!
