They are trying to steal some thunder from Analogue with the "Pocket" branding. Also calling a modern device a "collectable" is a joke. Its still an emulation console and not an FPGA, so the experience will be subpar, no matter how nice of a CNC case and buttons you put on it. Speaking of buttons, those dont look very comfortable. If you want to sell a premium priced game console for GB era stuff it has to be FPGA to be able to compete.
@Lanmanna The article is very misleading. The animated movie is indeed X-rated, but is a dramatic movie, not a porn. If you like cartoons made for adults, not kids, its a masterpiece. "Lord of the Rings" is another work of his by the way, that got a movie adaptation later on.
As a side note, "Heavy Traffic" is Ralph Bakshis masterpiece IMHO. His other works are amazing as well, but "Heavy Traffic" stands out to me as a true work of genius. If you have not seen it before, do yourself a favour!
@UK_Kev Indeed, this company that carries the Atari trademark has absolutely nothing to do with the original company. Its there to milk the brand for the last little bit of value it has left it in... and they are doing a damn good job of destroying the little bit of positive name recognition that was left.
I dont know why but most of the companies in this space like Limited Run Games for example, are just all horrible companies. They try to cash in on nostalgia and always do it in the worst ways possible. Its very sad.

Re: Limited Run And Retro-Bit Under Fire For Using Recycled Chips In Shantae Advance
@Zeebor15 They are both using nostalgia to milk money from unsuspecting clients with sub-par products.
Re: Limited Run And Retro-Bit Under Fire For Using Recycled Chips In Shantae Advance
Limited Run is a semi-scam company like the modern Atari. I bought their products once before, never again.
