Atari posied to make a comeback in 2010...

Post by PC Engine Fan X! »

Was reading an condensed article that originally appeared in the August 3rd, 2010 edition of the Los Angeles Times regarding Atari's comeback:

http://articles.latimes.com/2010/aug/03 ... ri-2010803

Fasinating article about Atari and what they're up to these days. Could they get back into the home game console wars anytime soon? The Atari Jaguar was the very last console to be made by IBM at it's South Carolina-based plant back in 1993.

Nolan Bushnell has been placed on the board of directors.

Here is what the creator of the Flashback 2.0 recently had to say about Bushnell:

Atari(corp) is screwed

oh, and HALO2600 has been released, here's an online emulator:

spacebar is fire (go up to get the gun)

Seriously, the Atari doesn't need a comeback, it never left.

International Creative Management, Atari's Hollywood agency, has set up Asteroids as a movie in development at Universal Pictures and Roller Coaster Tycoon at Sony Pictures Animation and is shopping other titles like Missile Command.

The last incarnation of Atari imploded horribly. I sort of want to see a "real" Atari again, but I don't think the market really needs them anymore solely 'because they are Atari'. If they release some great stuff, then wonderful - I'll be glad they're back. I'd love to be proven wrong. But they've got an uphill battle to get me to care about them.

It's like, hey, assholes, make some inexpensive retro games and I might care. Maybe SNES era retro or so.

But they won't. More matrix games withou\t Trinity. Pssh. Just a stupid platformer with characters that are very different would be decent...
PSX Vita: Slightly more popular than Color TV-Game system. Almost as successful as the Wii U.
