Atari again began to produce cartridges for the ancient ATARI 2600 and immediately got into trouble

The company that now operates under the guide Atari, Basically profit from the glorious past of the brand: for example, releases the ATARI VCS console, which offers relatively modern iron, but in the former factor of the legendary Atari 2600. Another initiative Atari – Collectible cartridges that work for the same Atari 2600.

For this, the Atarixp label was opened. Title – reference to Atari Program Exchange (APX), store Atari, Sending games by mail in the 1970s and 1980s. Under the sign of Atarixp, they are going to release the following electronic entertainments on the media:

Games that were completed, but never received an official release or were published by a very limited circulation.

Atarixp cartridges are made according to all the necessary standards of the past, so they work on real Atari 2600. Materials and spare parts are new, the edges are scored in such a way as to prevent contact damage, and the connectors are made of an enhanced gilded base.

The first wave of cartridges is divided into two publications:

Limited – $ 149.99. Cartridge, premium poster, printed user guide with bonus materials, two collection icons and a certificate of authenticity.

The circulation of each limited publication is 1,983 copies, in honor of the year, when the first wave games were supposed to exit originally. Standard versions will begin to send on December 13, and limited-at the beginning of 2022.

The first wave of games from Atarixp includes three games that did not have an official release at the time of Atari 2600:

The Atarixp website says that the creator of all three games was Howard Scott Warsh (Howard Scott Warshaw), Sign Personality in the history of Atari 2600. He developed Yars’ revenge, Raiders of the Lost Ark And E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (Yes, the very loud failure Atari, which led to the collapse of the video game 1983).

This is where a spicy detail is hidden. VGC website contacted Warsh Regarding the announcement of Atarixp, and the developer said that he had nothing to do with two of the three of these games.

Saboteur – This is really a creation Warsh, But it was supposed to go out not in 1983, but in 1984, the developer claims.

Someone in Atari He knows Casinokatanaspin.co.uk the truth for sure: in social networks the company published an entertaining fact about Yars ’Return – Like, she was born as a “homebrus” and became part of the official collection Atari Only in 2005, when it was included in the library of the ATARI Flashback 2 device.

On their punctures on facts Atari So far, it reacts strangely. Under the post of one of the users, the company claims that Yars ’Return – This is still a creation Warsh, Although it is a dump truck from a completely different person.

It was repurposed for the atari flashback . but it was Warshaw’s Creation. And it is yars’ return, and yar’s revenge . Which is a lot of work

Addition from 20:52 Moscow time. The original tweet disappeared somewhere, but the text of the message from Atari with ill-wing explanations has been preserved.

Addition of November 19. Company Atari I apologized for confusion with Atarixp releases:

As part of the preparation of Atarixp, the company Atari contacted Dennis and asked to share the latest version. His efforts were very important when creating new cartridges Yars’ Return. We value Dennis’s great contribution to Yars’ Return and his support for this project.

The best comments

I did not want to take the role of Cap in the evening, but I will have: retrogers, collectors, museums of Igor.
You would still wonder why hundreds of thousands of bucks buy cartridges with Mario for Famicom/Nes/Dendy.

Well, about the purchases for hundreds of thousands there, it seems not so unambiguous, and most likely those who sell them for such money are buying them themselves to get in the info-field.

Investigation: Auction houses artificially increase the cost of rare video games in order to make a profit from this

Before you get out, they created this market.

-Prusak, Seryozha, this ..
-But I have not Seryozha and never got into a mess. But Misha got there, so tell him about him.
Or briefly about how they answer their punctures. But all this looks curious, and not annoying, unlike other similar news. Yes, and all kinds of AVGN’AM and cozy basements will increase.

Not quite so. If the remake of Chinese is just a clone of a well -known product, then yes. He is little interesting from a collection point of view.

If the remake from the original company, then rather the opposite – such lots fly apart as pies. An example of this Nes-Mini, PS1-Mini and other purely collectible miniature consoles. For several copies, even quite a hunt was.

Yes, the very loud failure of Atari, which led to the collapse of the video game 1983

By the way, in vain in the news it is so briefly written about the 1983 video game crisis in the United States, a rather massive and significant phenomenon, which, is sure, many do not know (including me to the news, but found out only after crawling on Wikipedia).

A very interesting and instructive story, as a campaign and an entire industry, went into the ass because she began to release not high-quality crap (although there were other factors). By the way, biowarers and nearby would also be worth this story of the game industry to study. To prosteks also take note, it was painful for them to come to its incarnation.

One does not interfere with the other.

Collectors and museums of Igor Novoden Nafig are not needed, there is the whole chip in Toml that the working original. Chinese clones of anything of varying degrees of lousy on Ali and now you can get a penny.

Then I would argue, it has already become glorious today.

In terms of nostalgia and as a historical object. In those days, these guys have no more than the whole market so well and it would not be known in the usual form not to appear nes.

Um I have a question and who needs this piece of Gaun Mammoth in general today except stubborn oldfags?
