Atari freak 1 Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 I know a lot of people said this before but I really wish I had a time machine so I could buy a bunch of quadruns and waterworlds so I would keep one for my self and give the rest away to you guys here on the boards.

Chris++ Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 I ordered Vanguard from Atari Age (the paper version!) back in 1982 or '83. I must've been about 10 years old. I still have that cartridge. I remember well that I was deciding between that game and Crazy Climber. THUNK THUNK THUNK (<---Banging head on desk) No, no, I'm okay. No problem. I'm glad I had fun playing Vanguard back then. Those are good memories. It's just that they were the same price. But I'm okay. Really. THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariDude Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 Actually if I had a time machine, I would have told Atari what to do and what not to do and who knows? maybe Atari would have turned out as big as Microsloth is today and the feds would be putting them though a monopoly trial instead of Microsloth.

Big Player Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 I'd certainly try to convince Atari to make that deal with Nintendo to distribute the Famicon. I'm sure if I did it though, something else would change that would make the world even worse, such as 3-D Earthworld. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smf_4ever Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 I would have tried to convince atari to give programmers more money.. than maybe the exodus wouldn't have happened which yes.. opened the doors to great games.. but slammed the doors open on crap program companies and inferior products...

Robbins1940 Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 How would you pay for the stuff? You have to have money which didn't get printed after 198-. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like if I really had a time machine, I would use it to improve Atari. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwh Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 If someone went back and helped Atari be as good a company as Nintendo and it still existed today, then this website and message board thread would not be here,and all the great people here would not have met eachother...

Atari-Jess Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 i wouldn't stop world war 2 if i had the chance nope. no way. think of all the technology we wouldn't have! no atari thats for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAZ Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 If I had a time machine, I'd go back in time 1 second each time.... Then I'd determine how many times I could make 1 second leaps into the past before things start to go wacky Like when you walk on carpet enough times it starts to wear it out.

Malix Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 First off it would alter time and thus effect today. Secondly I was laying the sarcasm on with a wagner power sprayer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
