Atari Announces an Official Portable 2600 System

Bill Kendrick writes: "Infogrames (the folks who now own Atari) have just struck a deal with another company to produce a 10-in-1 video game system based on the Atari 2600. It'll be joystick-shaped, plug into a TV set, cost only $20, and include games like Combat, Asteroids, Missile Command, and my favorite, Adventure! It won't replace my Atari 2600 Jr and 60 cartridges, but it's a step in the right direction!"

I really liked Stun Runner. The starter's voice was sexy.

"Uber" is not an adjective. It is an adverb that is wishing for something other than "Monkeys" to describe.

"What this gets at is that an opinion is a very personal thing to each individual. You hold the opinion that you are smart enough to tell others that theirs are wrong. That is certainly debatable."

The Atari 2600 - plays great retro games, and allows you to dial long distance phone calls for free on old hardware!

Next will come the Atari PBX Rewiring Utility ;) -Evan

Oh. Right. I don't worship at the altar of hideously outdated gaming systems which nobody in their right mind would buy at any price, and so I'm a troll?
