Woulfe Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) The fact that the most vocal, loyal, backer, is now questioning everything... Puts this whole thing into the spotlight... And it's sad... =P On the flip side many of us didn't fall for this from the get go, as we know this Atari is not the same Atari of old, hell, the Atari of old might as well be buried in New Mexico along with ET & other over-stocked things. How many hands did the name go though before it ended up being basically being owned by a holding company in France ? At least several, right ? I agree however that it seems like they want someone w/ deep pockets to buy the name from them so they can get rid of this albatross they are holding onto currently... P.S. IF that is the plan it seems like no one is taking the bait, and is instead waiting for this to crash & burn, then buy the whole thing for pennies on the dollar...

CPUWIZ Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Aaaaaaaand... thank-you for my new desktop background! Would have been even funnier, if you had done that. Future taco ideas, perhaps. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm already considering changing a lot of our new titles to the following... Burgertime = Tacotime Night Stalker - Taco Stalker Tron Deadly Discs = Tron Deadly Tacos Astrosmash = Tacosmash Shark! Shark! = Taco! Taco! Demon Attack = Taco Attack Triple Action = Taco Action AD&D, Treasures of Tarmin = AD&T...

OCAT Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 ^^^ Future Taco ideas? I gots one. So let us say that the "Burger King" ( some small time burger joint, never heard of it) "Impossible Veggie Burger" was not an April Fools day joke, could we not extend this artificial meat to Tacos? A veggie taco that tastes like a meat based taco! And perhaps we could coax Taco Bell into a Taco Subscription based service, 1 taco a day for a monthly $10 fee * Valid only during normal Taco hours only in participating locations. IOS or ANDROID device required* Or even a Taco Loyalty card, for those without phones or do not wish to have their Taco habits tracked. Atari should offer all backers a free virtual Taco voucher every week this thing is late Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woulfe Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) That's essentially how Chesnais ended up with the brand to begin with. Kinda figured that was the case, hum, if any one of us bought like 100 shares of Atari Stock that would be what $5.00 ? I can get 3 soft tacos for that much, better investment, and then I'd be full afterwards... P.S.

Shawn Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 TacoTime would be epic. If there is any possible way to get such an obvious dig at Atari on a worldwide release from INTV that would be amazing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
