Atari Flashback 2
>> Saturday, November 12, 2005
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that Atari has given the good old video game a second chance. I must be a bit out of the loop since one gamer found out this new back in July for an October release. But I'm glad I'm not the only one out of the loop either.
The first two versions of the Atari sold over 500,000 consoles and I was one of those families who had an Atari. I'm thinking the Flashback 2 will definitely have a great appeal for stores this Christmas. Flackback 2 is actually affordable at $30 and has 40 pre-programmed games that come inside the console.
I'd say Atari is bold coming out with such an issue, but as with Air Jordans, people came flocking to get more of what they already had. Seeing that there are a lot of older people out there (yeah I have to admit I'm not such a kid anymore too) who would really love playing Atari. This might just not be another crazy idea after all, and more of a hit, especially for the price. I'd like to see how well Atari does with their Flashback to the 80's.
The big question is Will they market their product in such a way to get those customers back?

I love that atari flashback. Not quite like the old school games where you had to blow the heck out of the cartirages to get them to work. I used to play pitfall for hours on end. They used to have a contest where if you got the high score you could take a poloroid picture of your tv screen and send it in to get into a drawing. It is amazing how far we have come in the last 25 years.
