@rrhoover Kinda doubt this is the same thing, but I got a pitch over the weekend about the Atari and Sega Flashback systems that are basically like the NES Classic (built in emulator)
@elliot_s_volkman @rrhoover I suspect this is very similar to a NES Classic with all of Atari's greatest hits built-in.
Could this be why the new blade runner has the Atari logo in the trailer? (Year 2049)
Atari Europe and where I work literally share the same floor in the same building 😂! They're so secretive 😟. I don't know who works there and what they're doing! My guess is retro console, but more like the Ouya.
The hardware design is definitely a nod to the original Atari 2600... but I'm hoping it's more than just another retro console that only plays classic Atari games. Their website has a button for "Dev" to email them for more info about their platform which is a good sign.
@djseika That's a common practice for websites to proxy the ownership so the company doesn't get hit with tons of spam at their physical address.
@robertcedwards You are right, but having in mind that they are Atari, their address should be well known and they should be receiving tons of spam anyways, don't you think?
@djseika definitely true, I know that it's our default when we're registering new domains, but yeah a little questionable, maybe just setup by an ad-agency that did the web work too…
If I wanted products which don't exist yet I would go follow kickstarter or basicly the 'news' . Stop littering the feeds with these
