It's literally just a mini pc with a front end loaded on it. I've got a Mac mini on my desk right now doing the same thing. Has anyone seen Star Wars Arcade the on rails shooter has been ported to Dreamcast?! It's so cool!
I enjoy mine and have 2 classic and 2 modern controllers for it, Neat little system, I got it on a deal and knew it wouldn't last long but I'm happy to see that they are keeping it alive by opening it up to the community. Looking forward to see what the community will make of it! It's an interesting piece of Atari history. I'm happy to see that they continued supporting it for as long as they did given that it wasn't a hit and honestly never could of been. I'll say one thing, the nice tight nit community surrounding it on their official discord was a pleasure to hang out with when I was active in it.
This stuff is cool! all the negative nancy's in here need to get off the stop ai bro hype train. This kind of fun project is exactly what the hobbyist would do. Take Goldeneye and run it on a SNES, it's all for fun. Calm down, go out and touch grass as the kids would say.
@Sketcz So people should stop using prosthetic legs? pace makers as well because they haven't taken the time to learn how to get by without? Where and Who gets to draw the line on who can and can't do something? certainly not you or I. I for one find this kind of stuff fun and very interesting. Go for it! don't like it then don't use it. There are plenty more things worth being mad about in this life but this isn't one of them.
That totally makes sense, Tim probably did think of Tetris as a video game or himself as a gamer. Tetris was the best idea for a pack in for this exact reason. I think George HW Bush was pictured with one playing Tetris. My Grandma loved Tetris and she beat it many times on the NES but couldn't play any other NES game to save her life. Love Curry in Red Alert 3, great game and great cut scenes!
I bought the famicom model new, kept it in the box for a couple of years and sold it at a huge loss as I was desperate at the time. I now use an RG28xx which reminds me of the micro but has a larger screen. Good article and yeah we have given up portability for power it seems.
Wow thanks for the great article! I played the crap out of Starlight on the Genesis as a kid, loved it! Still fire it up once in a while now. I once emailed EA with just the words Starlight 3 please! over and over again and got a response that they would pass it on. Once again thank you for the great read!
Don't explain it and ruin the fun! reading the first part of this article reminded me of being on the school playground and hearing that there was yet another hidden enemy in Mortal Kombat!
Very cool but seems a bit of a reach to say it's made on Atari, that's just leaning into it a bit much right? What if you booted the current vcs into pc mode and typed it on there? would that have the same effect?
I really like it, It's funny we live in this time when you have access to so much and we've found out it's really bad for us. Time to scale it all back. If you get this or not you could always get a nice launcher for your android phone that helps limit use. Social Media, and especially apps like tiktok are genuine brain rot.
