Atari To Release Old Games and New Console System

Posted by michael on from the when-emulators-aren't-enough dept.

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."

    ....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?

    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.
