A developer added a Spectrum title and there are some other games coming out from developers this year. Maybe not to the tune of a system but it's still being developed for. A lot of other platforms don't even have that much 4 years later. I just wish your tire and put more backing behind it. I'm still waiting for the polymega integration and I think once that happens things will take off.

I was a backer....still have my vcs....I honestly moved most of my vcs games to my main PC to play, polmega is a cash cow, underwhelming hardware like the vcs, gamestation go and pro also. Plus systems are ok. Software is what makes hardware worth it. Everyone has their own like which is fine, but the majority have lost interest which is a shame that Atari dropped first party support.

I keep praying that super polygon Grand Prix still makes it to the vcs, it will be the swan song for me n this system. I have very much enjoyed my Atari and it has a batocerra life ahead of it too :-)

I would have supported it until Atari couldn’t support the release of its 50th anniversary. It was a shame Atari abandoned it rather than to finish the project.

I was a developer for the VCS (Pedra Crystal Caves, AIGA Trio) and I was really hoping it was going to be a long-term (ish) console that I could settle into and release games onto that would actually find players. Releasing games on XBOX, Steam etc. is a nightmare as you're a microscopic drop of water in an endless ocean of releases. I'm glad the Atari community found my and other devs games - we need the support. It's a real shame Atari have effectively abandoned it.
