7:35 PMI think the Ataribox can be something like the 2002 Xbox, a PC with the Atari logo and it will run costume made Linux
7:36 PMWhat’s your opinion on the new upcoming ataribox
7:38 PMthe only mini console ??I would care about would be a mine snes
7:39 PMWhat if they made 2600 but updated to look modern. Like made in Unity or in Unreal Engine
7:39 PM2600 games*
7:40 PMJaguar came out in 1993
7:40 PMi am all in on that hyperkin retron77. i have all of my games, paddles, and track ball.

7:42 PM“All the modern games in 2600 style…. plz dont sue us”
7:43 PM4K 60 frames pong

7:44 PMpeople for years wanted Sega to make a console comeback and have the Sega Nintendo rematch but here’s atari out of left field saying “thanks Nintendo for keeping my seat warm”
7:45 PMDo you think maybe Atari (or whoever) saw how much hype coleco chameleon is getting last year and they wanna to continue where coleco chameleon stopped
7:45 PMjag had cd add on
7:46 PMIf retro is making this, let’s hope they don’t steal the emulators this time.
7:46 PMSorry Retron
7:46 PMThe Jaguar got a CD add on and there was in plan to make a hybrid CD/card system that would replace the current Jaguar but it was never made
7:47 PMya they screwed the pooch with those emu.
7:48 PMps3 has all the sega games i need in 1 20 dollar disc. ad free

7:49 PMI bought Sonic years ago. The app updated, and it won’t restore my previous purchase, saying it’s “timed out”, so I’m forced to have ads
7:51 PMI tried the cloud savind I saved a save state on my phone than I download it on my tablet, log into my google play and yes it is there. I cannot belive how easy they made it.
7:51 PMam I just too computer stupid to recognize what frames dropping actually is
7:52 PMaparently the moble emulation is awful, so says digital foundry anyways
7:53 PMcurently the free emulators are better

7:54 PMSonic 1 is a free version of they payed Sonic 1 port for mobile
7:54 PMif video game characters lived in real life I’d imagine they’d be in shackled in the dovelopers dungeon, some guy drags out frogger and frogger screaming “no not a reboot, remember froggers adventure”
7:55 PMwhat aout augmented games? can you see it growing?
7:55 PMevery time i drop a frame i always wonder why they use glass instead of plastic
