Gunstar Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 (edited) That's wild to see something like that, but I wouldn't go as far as using the plural form. An insergent could possibly be a fan, or maybe has one game for his xbox that had an atari sticker with it, or it was put on the gun before the last owner got it. On the other hand, I think Atari might have a few fans in that part of the world, after all, the 8-bit was sold in that part of the world with it's own Arabic OS, all who have the Ape Warp 32n1 have this OS... Do we have any AA members from the middle east? If so, how many? Any from Israel? Edited October 5, 2011 by Gunstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro Rogue Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 They're playing modern fake Atari with the modern fake bellbottom logo, kind of ironic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+orpheuswaking Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Probably a fake gun too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevEng Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Someone should tell Atari Legal that these insurgents are using their registered trademark! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have talked to hundreds of guys from every arabic speaking country you can think of, and none of them ever heard of it or saw it. There are only about 10 Arabic XEs in known existance. These were most likely a very limited/short lived production/promotion. The one I have has SA marked on the box.. The company that made the Arabic Educational carts was based in Saudi Arabia.

Fox-1 / mnx Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I have talked to hundreds of guys from every arabic speaking country you can think of, and none of them ever heard of it or saw it. If I read it right, you mean they never heard of "Atari"? Nir Dary is from Israel and next to Hebrew, Arabic is one of the official languages. And he was not the only Atari user over there. Apart from that, I have a (very) few A8bit demo's that use the Arabic language but I don't know if these are really from Arabia or are just written in that language.

MEtalGuy66 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I was referring to the ARABIC 65XE that the "Arabic OS" (that Guitarman was referring to) came from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmel_andrews Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Perhaps ATARI are getting into 'military hardware', since they gave up the ghost on CE hardware back in 1993/4 (CE=Consumer electronics) Kind of figures since they're not exactly 'rolling in it' as a software only compnay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
31336haxx0r Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I wonder if Space Invaders becomes Infidel Invaders then. And Missle Command becomes RPG-7 Command. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
