This was my first ever interview so be nice >_
That was an awesome interview! Thanks for posting.
@@ewlaso6474 Thanks Robert! ✌️
You did an incredible interview. I was hoping for a homerun, and you delivered grandslam!
@@danootto6382 thank you!
did you by chance see it in action?
If New Atari checks here. I have a message for their success. This new plus release is an opportunity to literally resurrect a mostly dead Era. Product attention, learning from past failings, and using the consoles pent up and untapped power to bring new adventures and also abilities that never were fully realized. I pre-ordered because I have faith that more than flashbacks are in the future. Don't let us down! If this fails, we have no choice from our standpoint to put the final nails in the lingering coffin. We want to remove the nails and let new life emerge ❤
Yup! Hopefully this product is a win for new and returning customers.
I’m new to Atari and I’m all-in on this. Really looking forward to new retro games being made and digging into some classics
Oh man, I am so pumped for this system. Just preordered it, I literally have butterflies in my stomach! I feel like a kid at school again waiting for Christmas. And it plays 7800 carts too.... Atari, you have hit the nostalgia chord very hard with this one! Good work.
Its awesome seeing how dedicated they are to preservation of their games and their legacy
I ordered one and waiting for it. It’s the nostalgia of my childhood. I have all my game cartridges waiting.👍👍
That’s awesome! Hope you have fun with it
Great coverage! Got one preordered and I have been literally counting down the days while buying up old carts
Can you say Awesome !!!!! I already pre ordered one !!!!! I still have my Atari 2600 from 1979 that I got for Christmas and 50+ games. I was 11 yrs then, I am 54 now wow.
Thats so awesome you got to hold on to your original! I know a lot of older people probably got rid of theirs or lost it with time.
Hope they recharge all the games . Then it would be woth buying . That guy is a nice guy and explainded everything nicely .
Great little interview! The only bad thing about it was that it wasnt longer 😄 really thinking on picking one up!
Don’t worry this interview was very good about the machine that originally kicked off something so special that practically almost everyone owns a gaming console from Atari to Sony PlayStation and many more brands. In fact, I still own many gaming consoles inc the original 2600. I wasn’t too fussed about getting the new version. This interview though has very probably swayed my mind to preorder it thank you
Benny, I have my family’s origin Atari from 1977 and couple other Models and a 7800. I play mine (all unmodified) on two 4k TVs (1-2 yrs old) and 1080p TVs.
Very easy to hook up! All you need is a cheap RCA to Type F adapter and a TV with a coaxial input. I have a few of these around.
New TVs default to digital channels so you may just need to tune in the “air” analog channels. With the adapter, hook up your Atari, put in a cartridge and power it up. Then go into settings and tune in the “air” channels. The TV finds the correct channel and saves it for later use. Then you tune to the channel to play. After that hooking up the Atari is quick! On TVs I don’t use the coaxial, I leave the adapter in place. You can even add a switch box and go between two different game consoles.
For sure! There's definitely very simple and straifhr forward ways to enjoy the classic 2600+, I even have a video using a composit to HDMI adapter to play Valorant on a CRT lol.
I was mostly referencing that in general, it'll be easier for consumers to have a plug and play HDMI console with minimal issues.
Thanks for watching!
Cant wait for nov, be like a big christmas gift early, minute i saw this i had to reserve, ive got my original atari but its getting old an its hard to hook up to modern tvs, Love this an ive got a lot of cartridges ot play an im sure ill look around for 7800 games now
Nice!
Good interview!
Definitely gonna get one, found some cheap 2600/7800 carts near me, will be fun to play them without modding an old system. Only complaint is I wish they had added an extra button or two to the new joystick for the 7800 games.
Thanks! Yeah definitely excited to bust out some old cartridges and play them without the big hassle.
Make sure you look at the compatibility chart, it's a cart dumper like the Retron 77, so there's games that not going to work on it, especially many homebrew games.
I heard from a reliable source that a newly designed 7800 controller and new 7800 games are going to be released !!
Dude, i want to get this thing because the OG system is insane when it comes to price.
Man I wish they put a fpga chip in that, they could have published new homebrew games for the 2600 and the 7800 oh well one can only dream.
How many watt charging brick does it require for the usb-c power cable
Does it do CRT filters?
They will make a 7800 controller for that new console
Is the new berserk game going to be better than the original or is it just basically identically the same as the original
What's the max output resolution and what upscaling can it do?
I’m assuming it simply reads the cartridges and emulates the software. So probably 1080p?
Bruh. It’s a 2600 so you’re asking the wrong questions. The correct questions is what plans do they have for new games on this thing.
Atari should teach AI how to program the 2600 and then use AI to help develop some interesting software techniques to build huge games, you know 32KB-64KB games in that signature Atari 2600 video and audio style. They could augment the technology to perhaps create virtual network controllers so that players can compete online. Wish Atari luck but I think they need to think one layer above the reissue and repackage paradigm and begin using the platform to take things to the next step.
It's unfortunate that they went with emulation instead of replicating the 7800 board and improving it to output using HDMI. Old tech with a few new tweaks. This basically would have ensured that all games released for the 2600 and 7800 would work without issue. But no. They went the way of the cheap and easy, with emulation, causing some carts to not work. It's a nice system, but it could have been better.
Sorry kiddos the Atari 2600 was the best system of all time I have 220 games Andy's games aren't violent and you're not killing human beings in 99 percent of them I got to get one cuz my old system won't work on the new TV
Dude remember getting your firstswitch? Dude you grew too much
Haha thanks for sticking around! :)
Good job buddy. It's funny though that old smelly hippies are doing this. I'm assuming then that they have passion from their project as this is the target age range for people who still find Atari as a playable gaming option, post-NES.
Old smellie hippies? What is wrong with you?
The original 1970's Atari developers were of this type as well. Alot of Artistic and Creative people in general have this vibe.
Smelly hippie’s created a tremendous amount of the technology world we enjoy today! Many worked at Atari. Atari was no small potatoes.
