No Pitfall? What’s the point, then?
No Pitfall? No deal.
In fairness, if you still had a Pitfall cart, it looks like it will work, given you blow on the card edge hard enough first
Never actually blow on copper contacts, as the moisture from your breath will corrode them given enough time.
And asteroids ffs
ET.
It’s Microsoft® Pitfall™ now.
It takes original carts. So, you can put a Pitfall cart in it.
That’s the point.
I still have a bunch of my old Atari 2600 games (yes, including E.T.) The fact that this is compatible with my old carts might entice me to buy it.
And the fate of video games, themselves, was sealed. For the beast had risen once again, and would stop at nothing to ensure the crash, this time, would be permanent.
This seems like it’s best for people for still have a ton of Atari 2600 games or are willing to buy them. BecauseTV resolutions weren’t standardized yet, playing original cartridges on unmodified original hardware on an HDTV can result in games flickering out due to needing to change the resolution to avoid lag or even games not displaying at all
And It’s Got Wood
Watch it being built exclusively out of plastic.
At $130, I am not willing to take that gamble after their slew of other mediocre systems. Modern Atari has not, and most likely will not go the extra mile. They will just push it out the door, and move on to the next one.
I dont get it tho. The hardware is 40 years old. They could drop a raspberry pi in a banana peel and the processing power would be orders greater.
I’m excited for folks who still have their original cartridges.
For me, this is pretty steep for a system that will (for me) only end up able to play 10 games.
An available 12 pack of resissued games on cartridge would go a long way towards giving this a place in my collection.
Edit: It’s really cool, though.
