During the golden age of video games, Atari came up with what might go down in history as the greatest video game contest of all time. In 1982, they created a video game series called SwordQuest and there were four planned games to be made. They set up a contest for people to take part in and winners were going to be challenged to win real prizes, not like the silly game related ones that you see today. These were actual real treasures. The names of the four games were Earthworld, Fireworld, Waterworld and Airworld. Each game had a prize for the winner and then those four winners would battle it out in a contest for the grand prize. The first three games saw the light of day, but the fourth never happened and with it, so went the hope of the contest continuing and remaining prizes.
Atari has revealed classic game patch packs for fans and collectors.
The Atari 7800+ follows on the heels of last year's Atari 2600+.
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.
In addition to that make the games built in and stuff the cartridge support.
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.
GL: "There have been some great handheld consoles over the decades, but along the way came a slew of not-so-great ones; here are seven of the worst."
