Atari is working on its first console in more than 20 years

Oh wow, Piano glossy plastic?

I think it looks good, but I like the OG woodgrain look.

I played it. I took one apart many moons ago.

So did I. My mom freaked out until I actually fixed it. She never doubted me again after that.

I never cared for it. Only Atari I liked was 7800. Then again, wasn't into gaming till NES.

It wasn't my fav either, but it was my first game system. Let's be fair, there were a ton a solid classic games for it. "Adventure" was my fav.

lol, adventure was classic but whats always hilarious is how all the titles were just your generic. I of course played Indiana Jones on it. No, never played ET as I didn't know anyone who had a copy. Mostly played Combat which I think was called Tank Wars on Collecovision.

I'd still like to own one of these. I don't like the price but with a little luck, someone else will pay retail and then sell it to me at a discount because they never use it.

I never finished that game, could never figure it out.

My mom bought one... Then she went right back to PacMan and Frogger.

I never finished majority of the games on the system. I was far too young and It was my sisters system. I actually didn't play much video games when I was very young. When I got a bit older and systems like the SNES were released, I started to play video games more.

LOL! I love how it took you guys nearly 3 months to reply to this thread.

I haven't checked yet but this console should already be out to the mass market by now, right?

Most games for Atari's early systems do not have a finish, or end. They just loop around on themselves.

You know how it goes, out of sight, out of mind..

You'd think. The RONA has delayed or forced the cancellation of a lot of things. I hope the VCS is only delayed.

Here's a teardown, tweaks & upgrades ETA Prime did on the VCS. I think this little machine is very cool!

Steve also did a teardown and had some "interesting" thoughts.
