The Ataribox will be on Indiegogo on December 14th for pre-order. Let's go over all the things we know about the Ataribox, from the Ataribox games to Ataribox controller, and why I think it's a giant SCAM.

The Ataribox was supposed to be available for pre-order via Indiegogo December 14th. However, the company decided to delay pre-orders due to one key element they said was "missing". I feel that the Ataribox is doomed, and the company is hoping to make a quick buck off of nostalgia.

The AtariBox and RollerCoaster Tycoon on the Nintendo Switch have shown me one thing: ATARI is the WORST Gaming Company of 2018! Let's talk about the downfall of Atari and what their crowdfunding madness is causing.

The Ataribox has a NEW NAME! It's now the ATARIVCS! The Atari VCS new name was debuted at GDC 2018, and we got some more details about the system as well. What's it all about?

There are new details about the Atari VCS and what it is capable of, including the first gameplay footage of something running on it. So why does the Atari VCS still feel like a SCAM?

The Atari VCS has HIT Indiegogo, and all the details of Atari's newest platform have been revealed. After looking over the info, I was VERY wrong about one thing with the Atari VCS. What are the Atari VCS games, system, and price? And what was I wrong about?

Atari launched their Indiegogo campaign for the Atari VCS. Which is Atari's attempt at reclaiming space under your television. Many (including myself) believed the crowdfunding campaign for the upcoming Atari console would be a miserable failure, but we were very wrong. The Atari VCS Indiegogo raised well over two million dollars in less than 24 hours. Making the VCS crowdfunding campaign a huge success, but will the Indiegogo success transcend into the VCS being a viable gaming platform in the long term?

You can now pre-order the Atari VCS on indiegogo but some stuff about this "new console" have me a bit suspicious. Let's talk about crowd funding, atari games, and possible ways this system could be a huge rip-off!

I'm listening to Michael Arzt on @gamertagradio and he's comparing The Atari VCS to the original Xbox. I think a better comparison would be to The Ouya.https://t.co/41NGHpRp1h

Arzt doesn't want to name any games coming out on the Atari VCS yet. Okay I can understand that. I'm wondering about the people who spent money on this. The games announced so far can be bought for under $50. Without a library the VCS is a rip off.https://t.co/41NGHpRp1h

I'll be fair. I actually like the idea of being able to use a controller I have already with a Atari VCS instead of having to get theirs. As you guys know I own a lot of systems and getting controllers for all of them makes for a lot of clutter.https://t.co/41NGHpRp1h

It's cool that I can do things on my Switch, Xbox, 3DS and Vita outside gaming. But I got those consoles to game on. I don't know why if you have a PC you'd also get a Atari VCS. So far they haven't given me a reason to.https://t.co/41NGHpRp1h

Arzt is right when he said the new Zelda game sold The Switch. He wants to do the same thing with The Atari VCS. What game do they hope to use as a system seller?https://t.co/41NGHpRp1h

The Atari VCS has been doing well on Indiegogo, but that may come to an end soon. All of the Atari VCS gameplay is not actually running on the platform, and Atari is in some hot water in this situation!
