We got our first glimpse of the Gamestation Pro (then named the Gamestation Plus) at CES 2023 along with the news that ‪@MyArcaderetro‬ and ‪@atari‬ would be collaborating on new products this year.

I'm happy they included also many black and white arcade games such as Atari's X's and O's Football, Baseball, Basketball, and Soccer. I didn't expect to ever see them on a system like this. I wonder how they can be played with a joystick instead of the trackball, but nonetheless, it's truly great to see them here.

@NormireX 9 месяцев назад

Sorry, but some criticism for you. The joystick design isn't the problem. You are not holding it properly to easily utilize the B and C buttons. I had a 2600 in the early to mid 80s and we had joysticks with a button on top, you are supposed to grip the stick not daintily hold it with a few fingers like you were. Try it with an actual grip and the issues hitting those buttons go away.

@wormquartet 8 месяцев назад

That was what I thought as well, but having now used one, the joystick actually isn't big enough for an adult hand to hold it and use the B and C button.

What an amazing system! I love the fact that they included some Atari arcade games that not many would remember. What surprised me in that line up was seeing that the game Quantum was included! That game was one of my mother's favorites, but it makes me wonder how that game performs with the joystick since this game also used a trackball like Centipede and Millipede. I had to look up information on that game because I was 85% sure I remembered it had a trackball. Out of all of the systems like this that is similar to the Flashback consoles, this one does seem like the one to get. Not to mention that knowing that you can do all sorts of neat things with that SD card slot, I would definitely get that thing running like you do so making a follow up video might be a great thing!

Jon, thanks for covering the 5200 version of Missile Command. This was one of the games on the original console that required analog control (the 3rd party digital sticks didn't work properly with it), so it's good to see that the game works properly in this context. It's like the dream of having a self-centering 5200 analog stick finally came to fruition 40 years later. :)

I"ll never understand why they don't supplement the 5200 collection with some 400/800 titles. Yes there could be licensing issues, but surely there are 3rd party titles that do not pose copyright issues in 2023. Heck, I' be happy with the addition of Captain Beeble & Jumpman. Excdllent review of the system...certainly more interesting than the 2600+ (then again, I don't have a 2600 or 7800 cartridge collection, so cartridge compatibility is not important to me (but I assume that most cartridge collectors already have a compatible (and authentic) console, and the skills to keep it operating (which has become the skill to watch RU-vid videos in most cases.) I guess the bottom line is that even my oldest computer is capable of running Atari emulator or MAME at full-speed. And so these gadgets just aren't attractive to me. The RM800XL is the exception, since it will allow the connection of a 1050 Disc Drive (or modern SD card equivalent... opening up access to thousands of Atari's best titles and the ability to write your own. But I'd get this just for the joystick...the lattency using a DB9 to USB adapter (as I do now) is just not tolerable, and I've never had a modern USB CX-10 clone not die the first time I use it....the stick often breaking in my hand on the first use. So if these are bluetooth or PC compatible they'd be worth the price of the system. (and as you pointed out elsewhere, being an ATGames release, I won't have issues finding them locally as I did with the VCS.) and $100 is less than the price of one VCS controller shipped ($169 CAD plus shipping/duty on eBay right now) Now back to your review, so we can learn about the SD card slot functions.

@PeBoVision 9 месяцев назад

@@daleb4148 As 8-bit computer software approaches 50 years old, and the threat of it falling into the public domain looms large, we will see an influx of 400/800 titles and machines to play them on, so as to re-assert expiring copyright claims. That's exactly what Atari50 accomplished for "Atari" and why Disney schedules re-releases, remasters and remakes of their older properties. Ageing copyrights are a use-it-or-lose-it game. Yes, $$$ is the motivation, but the ultimate goal is to ensure that only licenced, authorized use remains permissible far beyond the regular shelf-life of the products. It happens in every industry where intellectual property is under corporate ownership.

Best video ever Jon! This is a really cool product. Haven’t been this excited for a mini console since the SNES classic. Hope it’s a lot easier to acquire.

Remapping the three red buttons on the joystick to play Missile Command would have been a nice way to replicate the arcade version of the game. And, it would still be able to retain the functionality of using the joystick buttons to navigate back to the home/menu.

When the new 2600 with physical cart port comes out you should do a compare/contrast of this & that.

thanks for doing an in-depth review and research. this video was light years beyond some of the lazy retro gamers I've seen on YT. glad to find you and subscribed!

@GenXGrownUp 9 месяцев назад

It was my pleasure, Jeremiah. Thank you for your kind words, and I'm grateful to have added you as a viewer! 😁

This thing looks amazing. I was surprised to see Fire Truck. My local arcade used to have that, well into the early 00s before it closed

@ctripp11 9 месяцев назад

YES, YES, YES!!!!!!! Please do a follow-up on the SD addons. Thank you so much for all you do

Maybe in an update they can add paddle control for Tempest

@joeg4707 9 месяцев назад

Cool review! We have to figure out the paddle controls for the ROMS on the SD. You're right, a gamepad would be the way to go.

I want to complement you on something. I noticed that you held the controller like we all did back in 80’s. I’ve seen other reviews on Atari (most by younger people) and they have no idea how to use that joystick. I’ve seen some use it like a thumb stick on a modern controller, even! You wouldn’t think that would be that hard but apparently some people have no idea what to do with an Atari joystick! 😆

@greybush38 9 месяцев назад

Sure, I would love to see a follow-up video on the sd.

@amanda42906 9 месяцев назад

Yes, please do a follow-up on the SD features. The games I want to play the most were the ones you showed us in that segment!! Thanks :)

@GenXGrownUp 9 месяцев назад

Will do!

Today in Canada, Brampton just got this system at a drug store on sale for $99 !! I can hardly wait to try the arcade Gravitar. Super review.

@OriginalGrasshopper 9 месяцев назад

Looks really cool! I love that it has 5200 and arcade games. And the micro SD card, of course. 😉 Unfortunately My Arcade says it’s unavailable to ship to Europe (I’m in Sweden). ☹️

@GenXGrownUp 9 месяцев назад

Will do! It's in production right now.

Great video. Looks like a cool new console. It's amazing the resurgence Atari has had in recent years. I would love to see a follow-up on adding games to the console.
