Doomed: The Atari VCS Might Not Be Released

It is bad news for die hard fans still wanting the Atari VCS. Recent reports have the main architect quitting due to not be paid for the last 6 months. The troubled project from the get go may now not even be released. Even if released, is there anyone left who wants this? What do you think?

That would be a shame. I wouldn't expect this device to shake the mainstream industry up at all, but I like seeing offshoots and niche tech devices

The crowd funded money is already gone. There is a good possibility that no one will get an Atari VCS. They would need another 3 million alone in just shipping costs to get this out to stores and to the people that donated money... This system is an empty shell with no new games, Zero support - total disaster. this VCS console is like a dev kit for home brew.

Bought a 7800. Great underappreciated system. Can play 7800 and 2600 games.

Thanks for sharing John. It's such a shame that the new buyers have damaged the beloved brand so badly

Can’t wait to pick one up... in a bargain bin for 20 quid in 2022.

I was pretty excited when the atari box was first announced way back when. Id love a new atari system with new games. Now after seeing the direction theyve gone all i want is that new atari joystick to use with my retropie system, sadly i have a feeling that wont even come out

John - Do you think we will ever have an official portable 7800 console?

I wish these companies would just stop, and I wish that people would just stop looking at them. I'm really burned out on all this retro console revival craze of cheap plug and play mini systems and old companies trying to get relevant again with empty promises they already know that they will never be able to keep.
Atari, you're dead, you're washed up, this isn't the 80's, the Jaguar was your final nail, in other words from your very mouths, do the math.. Get over it.

I can see the reviews of the VCS a year from now. It will be an Orange Pi and you will have to load all the emulators on it. Sounds familiar?

You know, John. I truly appreciate your righteousness. You inspire and motivate many to achieve their goals. Keep on collecting! Museum inbound!

If Atari should have stick with PC machines (especially making it gaming specific) back in the day, they most likely would have been in business to this day. Sucks that AtariVCS is now vaperware, really wanted this thing to come to fruition

The Atari train wreck has been on going for about 36 years now. We may need a vehicle larger than a train to describe the Atari "wreck" at this point.

Hey John,

On the subject of stalled failed projects that were fully backed....
Thoughts or possible future video of Watermelon Games beat em up Genesis game Paprium? Watermelon did great with other projects but this Paprium project has been stalled too many times. Backers sent money directly to Watermelon and I do not see how they can or even will be able to refund the money. I’m still hoping it will be made and delivered. Thoughts?

The thing that shocked me most was that none of the people featured in the VCS marketing video (except Michael Arzt of course) made ANY mention of the VCS or Atari or the project in general on ANY of their social media pages. Arzt was the only one from that video advertisement who makes any mention of his association with the project on his social media pages.

There is no way to convey through text how not surprised I am to hear this....

Forget about the Atari VCS, done for.
John, how about a video on the upcoming Intellivision Amico!
I know you are a family man and I think this new console is aimed at people like you and I who would appreciate an all E-rated game console focused on retro-style games.
Keep up the good work!
