I wonder if it would be better or worse for "Atari" if they went private? They would be better able to hide their obvious financial issues, but it would be more difficult to obtain other people's money.

Shawn Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 New or used? Heavily used. For precious metal recovery. Look it up. It's a thing. A hell of a more tangible thing than the TacoBox that's for sure 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cybercylon Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 'new information published in Atari Age' ahahahaha We aren't even getting announcements about an upcoming announcement anymore. How disappointing. Maybe there is nothing else to say other than "We taken your money and wasted it, so it is now gone. Sorry". I tried to find a video about taking the money and run, but found nothing suitable. This classic will have to do Or 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCAT Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 (edited) let's all hold off on the speculation of imminent complete unmitigated failure until it is all said and done. Samsung said they would make a folding phone and this week might be the new cell phone La revolucion, same thing with Atari, they might actually come through xD All I ever wanted since I was a child (manchild) was an Atari VCS and a smartphone that I can fold up into a Taco. At least one of my dreams will come true When we get word of VCS update to the update i'll be reading it on my Samsung Galaxy Taco Phone.

lingyi Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 MAGA (Make ATARI Great Again! Seriously though, does anyone seriously believe that Atari, as a brand name could ever become a household name again? All its contemporaries (Mattel, Coleco, etc) are long gone and the videogame industry is locked by Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo, so anything videogame related for Atari is a highly likely no go. But what about something else, maybe computers or something else non-videogame related? Rather than linking to their past, could the name (under whomever owns it) be reborn? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBerel Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 By now, Atari is just a brand name tossed around like a $3 hooker by whatever sailor picked it up last. There's nothing of any worth that will come of it again, other than some genital warts. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StopDrop&Retro Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Does anyone know how big Atari claimed their preorder email alert list was? I thought I remember them saying it in an article or interview somewhere but I can't find it now. Maybe I'm not remembering that correctly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digdugnate Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 (edited) i don't- but i know according to them they had 11,340 initial backers. Edited November 5, 2018 by digdugnate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_B Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Brands occasionally comeback from near death. Lego, Mini, Apple and Nokia would be some examples. However, they all did it on the back of desirable products that, at least for enough of their audience, had some hope of living up to the hype. If Atari are to do the same they're going to need something good, and the VCS definitely isn't it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBerel Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 i think you're thinking of companies that have come back from near death. Orphaned and pimped brands don't do that. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flojomojo Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Intellivision/Amico/Tallarico is killing it with the well-written, informative, entertaining status updates. If you're at all interested in this stuff, you should sign up for their mailing list. Who knows if they can keep it up for a full 2 years (I'm thinking they probably can), but they're running circles around the "why are you doing this again" VCS. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
