Joey Kay Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 What a rip! Too bad Solaris isn't a registered trademark of Atari. I was at the theatre this week and there was a preview for some movie coming out in March of 2003 called "Solaris". I guess if Infogrames is as worried about this as the Atarilabs website, something would come of it, but like that will happen. Just thought it was interesting. Perhaps we'll see a glut of Solaris carts next spring on e-bay like that brief glut of ET carts when that movie was re-released! Cheers!

ATARIPITBULL Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 You never know, people will even try to sell there Solaris 2600 cartridges on ebay and say they are part of the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris++ Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 I wonder if Doug Neubauer sold the trademark to his game or something. If not, this might be one of those rare instances in which a lawsuit is actually justified. CF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubersaurus Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 Solaris is a remake of a 1960s russian sci fi movie, based on the book by Stanislov Lem, and its really cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapdash Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 I should also point out that trademarks are usually industry or product specific... In otherwords, even if this were a new movie entirely, Infogrames probably couldn't sue because there's nothing in common between the movie and the game. I never did get to see the Russian movie, but the book was pretty f'n cool, so I'm kind of looking forward to this movie... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Kay Posted July 10, 2002 Author Share Posted July 10, 2002 Yeah... since Solaris isn't a registered trademark, I doubt there's anything that could be done... and speaking of my ALF avatar... Do any of you remember how the Tanner family on ALF had a Vader 2600 (which seemed especially odd considering the show aired during the NES supremecy... mind you, ALF debuted in 86, so I guess it would make sense whoever was buying the set for the program picked up a Vader 2600). I remember one episode where ALF was playing Space Invaders and commented "Easy shot... no wonder the martians are extinct!". I think the sad thing is I'm still holding on to that moment which happened 15 years ago... Cheers! Joey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
