Flojomojo Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 There's a somewhat slicker take on it in GameDev Tycoon http://www.greenheartgames.com/app/game-dev-tycoon/ If you replay GDS as Atari SA, please make some GIFs of your studio makin' games and squashin' bugs!! Or of someone with a low skill and short deadline who quits before the thing is finished. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexkeaton Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I thought we agreed not to post about Atari shares anymore. We do you keep posting Charts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerDubs Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 My apologies, I had it confused with this thread, where indeed people think Atari is a joke: https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/comments/76ym09/time_to_buy_atari/ Two of my sentences there- "I'm in for this ride. Cheap enough to eat it if I am wrong." and "I'll come back to this thread in a year to see what's what. :)" Funny thing- seems I was right then...and still am.

On Planet Earth, a year is 12 months long, not three. Why don't you go away from here for a year, and come back when the dust has settled? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1500 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 So is there a takeover(51%) plan AA has in place if the stock totally tanks? Can we actually take over Atari? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racerx Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Funny, yes, but not in the way you think. I do have to admit to a certain grudging respect for someone willing to be ridiculed everywhere they post. Tilt on, Señor Quixote. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godslabrat Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I do have to admit to a certain grudging respect for someone willing to be ridiculed everywhere they post. Tilt on, Señor Quixote. Keep your eyes on the prize. This guy is thinking if he talks this stock up high enough, he can cash in for enough to have a nice dinner at Outback. Maybe even Red Lobster! I have a hunch, when all this is over, he'll never be hungry for tacos again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+GoldLeader Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I don't mind the stock talk...Though I'm sure most prefer the Taco... I mean there's no AtariBox news so... I honestly never got the idea PowerDubs was trying to sell us on the stock...Nobody here would invest. It would be wasted time. I took it as he was just talking for himself. For the rest of us,...It's just a good indicator of where the company is at. Like Everyone has said, Is this a company capable of pulling off a console release? (Magic 8 Ball says Signs Point to NO) Anyhow, and perhaps a separate note. I wish Anyone the Best in the stock market (That's 54% of Americans)....If you're not investing directly, you are still in it if you have a 401K so I wish you all the best. It's all timing, and anyone can make money on Any stock if they Buy Low and Sell High...Simple as that! That said, if you want to follow it in your account, in case it hasn't been said before, ATARI SA is a Grey Market common stock whose ticker is TARIF. On mine it comes up like so: Atari SA TARIF:Grey Market (Common Stock) I only mention it because I don't remember finding it as easily in the past. I personally wouldn't invest in it, and I certainly don't pretend it's the revered Atari of old, but I do like to follow it from time to time. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cybercylon Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 When this topic explodes, it could be either 1) Shills are active again and stock prices are dragged back in or point out efforts from Atari that most do not care about 2) More posts about tacos which can come with more of #1 Could care or less about the stocks or mobile games that are iffy to begin with, I can always get hungry for tacos Shame on me when the post count exploded after the funding campaign was no-go, I thought there might be worth while news. I guess if one buys into the many worlds theory, the Ataribox exists in some parallel universe. Let me check the X-files.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybercylon Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 If my daughter (or son) and I gets one of these: https://www.amazon.com/CanaKit-Raspberry-Micro-Supply-Listed/dp/B01C6FFNY4/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1518040730&sr=1-4&keywords=raspberry+pi+3 Or maybe something like this: https://www.amazon.com/CanaKit-Raspberry-Complete-Starter-Kit/dp/B0778CZ97B/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1518040730&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=raspberry+pi+3&psc=1 and just get one of those Pi 3 Atari 2600 cases, that can be an Ataribox, right? Who needs Atari Inc, Atari SA, or whatever they call themselves these days when we can all make our own, personal Atari box and learn something in the process? Oh... now once there are games to referee again, maybe there is a project with the kids if we want something a little more involved! We can make Tacos if we get hungry while working. At the end, we have our own Ataribox and Tacos. A win, win if you ask me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaybird3rd Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Has this thread sunk low enough yet for some Ataribox Haiku, or is it too early? "That Ataribox?" makes me miss the good old days RetroVGS! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Hoping someday Kairosoft will create Taco Truck Story. I'd be all over that. Perhaps Atari will get there first, and release Taco Truck Tycoon? Now that might be a game worth crowdfunding. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+frankodragon Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 The real question is, do the tacos have wood grain? There are some renders done in December from last year: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/266480-new-atari-console-that-ataribox/?p=3907549 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Nathan Strum Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 (edited) Damn how did I miss those?! They're spectacular They're fake renders. I Photoshopped the textures onto an existing 3D render of a fake taco. Then frankodragon took one of my fake, fake renders, and Photoshopped more fake textures onto that. Take that Ataribox!

toiletunes Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 That Ataribox Has been delayed to make it Even betterer! Buy a penny stock if it goes up one penny your money doubles tacos are for real empty nonexistent box? maybe not so much even if you do really want this to happen doesn't make it real. we were better off with a snezz in a jag shell that existed. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
