Reading up and learning that this app I saw was dubbed Antstream Arcade, and they had made a partnership with Atari to develop a VCS app with exclusive Atari Challenges included, thus why Valis and other games were at that press event. Little did I know I stumbled upon a treasure trove of games that sounded too good to be true. I had to know where it came from and if someone really rereleased such an obscure gem under my nose! And on the screen as someone was playing it with the controller, was a shot of Valis, a Telenet obscurity I became a huge fan of last year, but I had given up hope of a proper rerelease due to the messy nature of the franchise’s rights.Īt the time I just assumed it was some oddball Project EGG (a Japanese Retrogaming subscription service) application, and moved on, but even as time went on and my complete lack of interest in both Amico and VCS continued, I still couldn’t get that sight of Valis’ key art out of my head. While looking into the very rocky nature of the Atari VCS campaign (and that system’s impending release) as I compared it to the campaign of the Intellivision Amico, (a weird system that aims to be kid friendly by limiting all games on it to E10 and under, and focusing on mobile-budget scorechasers to sell a 250 dollar console, backed by an 800 page thread of cult-like shilling on a random forum) I caught a glimpse of an event where people demo’d the strange, Linux-in-a-box Atari VCS.

To give full disclosure on the nature of this review, I didn’t get approached by Antstream Staff to cover this for the site: I ended up stumbling upon this application by pure chance, as a matter of fact.
