I played a lot of ST games, but never heard of many of those!

I loved my ST, that takes me back. Great system that sat alongside my Amiga 500.

LoveSpuds3590d ago

Amiga was where it was at for me personally but they were both great systems, god I loved those days :)

OldDude3590d ago

I remember being 20 years old and taking out a $1700 loan for my first C64, then came the Amiga 500 (which I also preferred) and my ST. After that I got into PC gaming, but I never had so much fun as with the Amiga, ST and 64.

In essence, its a shell swap of the 2600+ they released previously, since they will both play the same games. I know its a bit of a stretch... but why not make a Jaguar+ that plays the Jag, 7800, 5200 and 2600 games in one? Throw in a Lynx adapter (ala super gameboy) and then you can play the portable games on the big screen too.

I can't wait to get this. Day one

jznrpg256d ago

That would have been ideal

Rebel_Scum256d ago (Edited 256d ago )

In addition to that make the games built in and stuff the cartridge support.

jznrpg256d ago

It’s odd they skipped the 5200

mastershredder256d ago

So they can support it like their Ouya... I mean VCS (I have both too ugh.). No thanks. There are very few great Atari games from that era, most of the good Atari games came way later and were arcade based. So rather than get get a compilation of those games (pretty much available on any console), it's better to spend a big chunk on another console so you can stick carts of terrible games that are basically the same game with a couple changes in control direction or a sprite. Hellz nopes. You are better off spending that money on a retro/import console and building a real library, rather than another regurgitation from a company cosplaying as Atari.
