magikarpow Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Just joined this site, and I am a Atari lover so yeahhhh. (Also might be getting an intellivision) Just wanted to know, what you guys would think a new Atari console would be called- (if it ever happened which I highly doubt) I was thinking the "Atari Revolution" Side Note: What if Sega made a new console? My guess: Sega Vortex Hope to see some answers! PS: I know this is kinda random but I just want to try interacting a bit on the forums...

+wongojack Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Welcome to the forums! Atari properties have splintered and been bought and sold numerous times over the years. It is incredibly difficult to imagine the basically bankrupt entity that is now Atari doing anything productive at all (let alone revolutionary). Dig around the forums a bit and you'll find where they allegedly turned down an opportunity to release a cart based and portable version of the Flashback. Atariagers would have liked that, but I guess you could argue its wisdom as a business move. I think Atari would probably need to name their console for whatever sponsor funded it - essentially it would be up for auction. Perhaps it would be called "Name This Console" or the Atari "Auctioneer." I guess if I'm just thinking up impossible sh!+, I could envision some sort of tabletop arcade console that could establish some online gaming for many of the classics. Perhaps it could be called the Ataricade. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toiletunes Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 BEAT ME TO IT Atari would need big name recognition to cut it in today's market. Therefore, Naming the new console after the spokesman is a nice tie-in. Therefore, I vote for the new Atari Shatner, with Hello Kitty pack-in game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magikarpow Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 Wow, got a lot more replies than I expected. I didn't know that Atari got the chance to make a flashback console... that would have been amazing. Interesting seeing what people have to say.

bennybingo Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Based on an recent article, I would have to "bet" the console would be named "THE ATARI GAY CASINO BOX": http://www.engadget.com/2014/07/22/atari-gays-and-gambling/ …just a guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akator Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Use Sony's console naming system. The 2600=1, 5200=2, 7800=3, Jaguar=4... Atari 5. Oops, they already screwed that up with the Flashback numbers, it would just be too confusing. Using Microsoft's new naming system: Atari One. Makes no sense but doesn't need to. Go for the future. Atari 3000. Shucks, that's incongruous with the old numbering scheme... but maybe no one will care because it was along time ago. On the plus side, geeks everywhere will associate 3000 with Futurama and MST3K. Atari will sell thousands! Of course, they should really just name it for what it is: the Atari Cashgrab. That would also create tons of name recognition as people enjoyed mocking the name: Atari GashCrab, Atari AssGrab, Atari GrabAss, think of how much people will be talking about Atari again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
