Atari To Release Old Games and New Console System
GrueMaster writes "Atari is announcing the re-release of their older games for the PS2 & Xbox. They are also talking about releasing a new console, which is a miniaturized version of the 7800 with built in games. Check out the story here. Being a collector of old Atari stuff, I'll be in line to get mine."
What about us 2800 people? Why don't we get our comeuppance? I WANT MY SPACE INVADERS OLD SKOOL!
Frist post.

Nah, those old titles were pretty low-res. You're fine.
....if you don't have to blow dust from the connectors when sticking in the cart?
And knowing which of your joysticks is a bit stiff and giving that to your friend?
And will it be the same when you see it on your massive widescreen TV instead of a little 14" that made anything seem high resolution?
On May 7, 2003, Infogrames officially announces its name change to Atari. The Company's U.S. operations became Atari, Inc. (formerly Infogrames, Inc.)

My last visit to a Sears store was when I bought a DVD Player in December of 2002 (the "other guys" were out of stock of the model I wanted).
I don't recall this "smell" you speak of...

Christ, your son is going to be made fun of left and right at school.
Don't do it, shielding your children completely from popular TV, movies and games will turn them into lonely, bitter youths.
My parents thought it'd be a good thing that I watched Seasame Street all the damn time, and now look at me, I post as an Anime persona on fucking Slashdot.
Trust me... your kid will be better off with some exposure than none.

Shh!!! You're giving away the secret! It's much cooler to let people think I can type 147 WPM. (I can't even THINK at 147 WPM, but he doesn't need to know that!) ;-)

I'll hire him.
The reason the 7800 flopped is because my parents would not buy it for me for Christmas. Instead my dad got the family an IBM XT. Thank God my dad didn't listen to me that Christmas.
