What you are not excited to buy Thrustlander? Come on Critic for 50 bucks less than a xbox 1 series X you can buy an Atari VCS!!
Then play an amazing game like Thrustlander!!!! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1411040/ThrustLander/
It is such a major release that it does not even have a promo on you tube. It is basically gravitar.
Most games on Steam have loads of people talking about it, wondering when it will come out. This has 0 discussions. Though it does look like a fun retro game. I will wait a few months then Fanatical or Humble will pick it up and it will be 20 cents.

$400??
I find it amusing how the promo pics include two kids playing PONG.

But it's Pong in 4K though... Ah who am I kidding? I am definitely buying one of these things which pretty much guarantees it will be completely DOA and discontinued in about a year.
Have to make room on a shelf next to my Ouya.

Was this one of those kickstarter projects?
The only thing I can think is that they just needed to put out ANYTHING in order to fulfill their obligations necessary to keep all the cash.

You know a Kaboom with Tempest 2K graphics would actually be pretty fun. I think the stick spins instead of giving you a paddle controller.
Critic! You're up buddy. Bite one for the team and let us know how it plays?
