RE: Of Atari Boxes and Dystopian Hell Holes

in #retrogaming7 years ago

Well, it isn't worth $250 or even $120 if it is just going to emulate old consoles. I can do that now with my phone or an old laptop and have the advantage of portability. The Jaguar didn't really have a huge library and only a relatively small percent of that consisted of truly good games. The Jaguar was a commercial failure and won't be what brings Atari success now. I agree it would be nice if they include the best Jaguar games and the best Atari games across all generation for that matter. That alone won't make a system at this price point successful though. On the other hand, I'd probably take my chances on this before buying whatever the latest Xbox One or PS4 variant is. Atari certainly has the nostalgia factor working for them but it will need more than that. The good news is that it does seem to be built for more than that.
