Have just seen this on a social media and I have to say I'm quite concerned for those that paid and backed this project as Atari seem to be ignoring their audience, understandably things change direction and rarely do they actually ever arrive on time, but Atari aren't doing themselves any favours here..

Have a look : https://www.theregister.co.uk/AMP/2019/09/25/atari_retro_console/

I have plans to produce something Sega related if I can acquire the permission from Sega to do it. but not until next year. Keep watching

he does great videos

Only seeing this now..wha an excellent little game and a fantastic homage to classic arcade original

Lol. I think this is one of those "Capcom'' moments to which they think it is a " They will come" idea

Thank you Shadow for your awesome support, the total amount is to cover the printing costs + shipping from the printers directly as these will not be getting sent to me to redistribute. The pledge gift ate also being created by third-party vendor delivering all perks plus shipping them too, then we have Kickstarter's 10% of the fund. So there will be about 1-2,000 for investment in surplus stock, packaging and funds going towards advertisements in the relevant magazines to help it get more coverage and whatever is left after that will go towards to funds on the Coin-Op Arcade Guide book, if success ill be launching that in September

Yes, truly delighted with the incredible interest and support I'm getting for it and about bloody time the Atari 8-bit gets the limelight now, I'm fed up seeing ZX spectrum and C64 books taking all the kudos. This Book is the definitive Atari 8-bit book for fans and the likes, this is something in here for everyone. I guarantee you.

PS, did I mention the printing is lito graph printing..super quality stuff.

Yeah, it is off to an awesome start 🤗

The Kickstarter project is now live , please head over and visit http://kck.st/2VWXiNo and let's make some magic!

Thanks fella, it's a big achievement to have gotten this far. I'm sure many though it was going to be vaporware, but no..this had to get made.

Hello everybody,

It's been months in the making and now has come to big day, well tomorrow actually 😊. I am extremely proud to announce that the Kickstarter crowdfunding for the Atari: a Visual History start at 10am CET - 20th of April 2019

I am extremely proud of the achievement and work on this first book under the "Greyfox Books" first debut publication and especially proud to have Retro Video Gamer as one of its amazing endorsers and sponsors. I will update this post tomorrow with the link to it's page and hopefully will have some of you along for the trip with me as I venture into the the world of bringing something special to all Atari fans around the world.

I also wish to thank TrekMD and Zapiy for their fantastic contribution to the book, its means an awesome lot to me that you guys helped me on this project.

Thank you guys 👍

Yeah..sorry id misread that price..Jesus 250+ nahh this isn't going to sell, but I think they are basing it on the build quality, they are using very high-end arcade buttons and sticks, etc..so it will be durable and tough.

Couldn't believe seeing this myself, I thought it was a spoof until I was brought to the main site, the emulation is been done by FireBurn Alpha and not some custom emulation, but I think the quality build is going to be good I reckon?

It will also probably be hackable for a Retro PI I'd bet, as I can't see the games on board will probably have a 512mb to 1gb of flash memory so no point on hijacking it to insert other roms. I'd guess that you're looking at about $150 bucks for this..just in time for the holiday season 😉

I'm half way through the book and it only arrived today. Loving it so far. Really nice book.

That's fantastic news, thanks fella. I will be putting the review together as soon as I've received it. 👍
