I'm not much of a gamer myself, but this is pretty impressive. I love the detail that went into making the cartridge / retro packaging. Pretty cool!

#12Really impressive. Especially the in-cartridge LED's. It's a shame the magic of the clean vector lines of the original Cinematronics got a little lost in the port. On that note; how fucking awesome were/are Cinematronic games.
"Really impressive. Especially the in-cartridge LED's" ?? It is a cool idea, but I think that is the part I could have done. Programming this on the 2600 is a different story. [Aside: I think those white LEDs are out of date; in those days, LEDs were red]
"Anachronic" rather than "out of date", no?

#13It's impressive, but would it be worth investing in on Kickstarter? No.
That's for Lackluster users to decide.

To me, $50 for a custom cartridge sounds like a great deal. That's the magic of kickstarter - they don't all have to be million dollar deals to be worthwhile for people on both sides of the transaction.
