cuvtixo To celebrate a special collaboration with Plaion Replai and Namco to bring retro gaming fans the Atari 2600+ Pac-Man Edition. Please read the article before getting outraged. I'm fairly ambivalent. Yay, they have slots for old cartridges to function, but two games? Two? for that matter, I'm not clear why not 5200 cartridges won't work. Is the connector really that different? They could easily put the 69 Atari5200 games into a single cartridge. Heck, they could put a whole gaming system in a cartridge, upscale graphics on all games, oh so much more! Cheap! I'm skeptical about the joysticks, I'd have to have one in my hands before judging. I suspect they're day-glow crap. Pacmac is 45 years old, this is just about an insult to vintage gamers, really. So, so inadequate. Reply

The controllers for the 5200 were legendarily bad, (look up a picture of one). Despite some decent games on the 5200 it did not sell well. Reply
