Rodimus Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 I hope no one here gave money to this Indiegogo campaign. The Atari VCS is looking like a scam. Maybe more like the Coleco Chameleon. This is all looks no substance. They don't have a working prototype and the hardware has not been nailed down. The video they show of the console are faked and not running on the hardware at all. I get it nice looking hardware but that is all there is today. It is an expensive Uya at best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaxick Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 I've been warning people since the begining to avoid the VCS at all costs and the way this company has been attacking the press/YouTubers should have been a red flag. The company already has two products they've never delivered to consumers despite happily taking their money. The comments on the Indiegogo also disturbed me as it was clear, many of its backers fail to understand who this company is. They all were asking for game releases not knowing this so called Atari company owns very little of the Atari catalogue. I hope for the backers sake, they do get something, but even if that something comes out, it's dead on arrival. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littleronin Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 When this was announced my wife came to me shortly after seeing it and ask me if I was interested. I kindly looked over everything and my gut reaction was that this was a scam. I feel bad for the suckers people that backed this. But all the signs were there from the get go that this wasn't going to be anything more than a pipe dream. Also good job with the Phantom reference. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodimus Posted July 3, 2018 Author Share Posted July 3, 2018 Thanks @Littleronin For those that didn't here is the Phantom. This console never happened and offered similar deal. Here is the Retro VGS and Coleco Chameleon. Real smoke and mirrors and fake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaXDragon Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Fool me once... I fell for the Ouya, and I even bought into the Steam machine hype and built a SteamOS box. Neither went ANYWHERE. No more of these dedicated budget gaming systems for me. Just stick with a PC, and for couch gaming, do the mainstream consoles. Everything else just ends up being a huge waste of time and money.

Rodimus Posted October 8, 2019 Author Share Posted October 8, 2019 https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/10/08/atari_architect_quits/ Update it is looking worse and worse. They also promised updates all summer but didn't once and when confronted on Facebook they said info coming soon again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
