Amazing Atari is doing this. After the whole Tommy debacle (an amazing saga from the CU podcast if anyone hasn’t seen it)
For those who never had their hands on one… god those controllers sucked.
That disc was so bad or you’d will all the games, or so we thought.
We are all Ringo Starr on this glorious day.
It had 16 buttons (albeit the side buttons were ?almost always? Mirrored) and a multidirectional disk. And you had to keep a collection of plastic sheet inserts for each game. So bad, but I loved mine so much. I hated that the Atari only had a Joystick and 1 button at friends’ houses.
Plus, membrane buttons.
It’s the Intellivision Sprint for those who don’t want to click on the article
My first console!
My dad got it used off a coworker for $50.
How elder of a millenial do you need to be for this to be nostalgic to you?
It came out in 79 and games were still being made into the late 80s.
If anyone cares, look into the game Utopia. One of my favorites on this platform.
