@coolboymew I don't know why Atari still thinks they're still relevant. Most people aren't even nostalgic for it anymore and their only successful consoles were the Atari 2600 and Pong.
@coolboymew Not to mention that Pong is the most cloned game in existence. Hell, the first graphical game I programmed was a Pong clone written in Python.
@coolboymew I will give them a little bit more credit if they added some of their variations of Pong that were in the later Pong consoles, but it still wouldn't be worth buying.
This is clearly them cashing in on the "handheld re-releases of old arcade/console games" fad you are seeing with stuff like those My Arcade mini-cabinets. And I rather buy those than some glossy, over-priced piece of shit that only plays a nearly 50 year old game.
I expect these will end up as prizes at places like Dave and Buster's.
Very frustrating tho', I'm still waiting for my arcade perfect Pac-Mania mini-handheld, but it's not goddamn coming. Vanilla Pac-Man is boring
@coolboymew It is possible to mod a My Arcade cabinet and add more games, but I don't know if it could run Pac-Mania.
Not only they're emulable for free, but I can spend a 20 and get a bundle of much more involved games
Or hell, newgrounds had brilliant games for years, for free
There's no reasons to play plain old pong
