 Ben Heckendorn has completed revision 5 of his portable Atari 2600, the VCSp. As you can see from the picture, this one is a drastic design change reminiscent of the Game Boy Advance. The main problem with this design is that it took much longer to construct, so don't expect this to be the final version. He's looking for input, so stop by the VSCp Site and let him know what you think of the new design.

 It seems that the Digital Press guys have turned up some more Atari prototypes. Word has it that they showed off Elevator Action for the 2600 and Pitfighter for the 7800 at the recent PhillyClassic event. There's even word of a 2600 Zookeeper prototype, but that's just a rumor at this point. That's all we know for now, we'll post more news as it becomes available!
