You I just though of this while reading SgtBowHack's post. Ben mentioned that the last of the Atari Jr. used a custom singal chip. If anyone were able to find one of these Ataris we could see about having it reproduced.
And in related to that Ben has a custom PCB for the singal chip.
Do you think this has a NES on chip?

I agree, it's the games and how they play more so than the system. If an AOAC can keep the atari alive for future generations to admire and enjoy then an AOAC is a great thing.SgtBowhack wrote:The AOAC idea is sound. I know some people are against it cuz it's "not authentic" but what do you need to do to the poor machine to make it from being "not authentic"? Cutting the board down? Replacing the board? It seems if you're gonna go as far as replacing the board, replacing the chips with equivalents is not too far off. I mean, you're replacing the board with an equivalent, right?
My favorite retro system is the NES, honestly because that was my first system, and it's the shape and feel of the controller and buttons along with the game that I enjoy. What the system looks like, or what it's guts are, isn't important to me as long as the experience is the same.
