I think he means in terms of selling games to a large audience today.

Yeah, I get that. Atari in my mind is about simple games that are fun. No mascots required.

I mostly agree, but I think Atari does suffer a bit from a lack of recognizable symbols besides the logo.

Atari doesn’t suffer a bit from lack of characters/symbols. Atari was an era when gaming was about neon lights and new wave music, basically it’s own thing.it was a time before cartoon mascots and an endless line of me too platformers.

Wow. Nice grab for someone.. I had one of these briefly till I plugged a Colecovision power supply into it and fried it to death.

This is something I can add to the store easily enough, not sure I'd put this directly on packaging, though. 

 

Called it! guess I wasn’t kidding.. 

[what is was like getting online in the 80's!]

Slow, expensive and exciting.

Plus why not an alliance with Al/AtariAge to provide even more new cart options to 2600+ buyers? 

Oh boy. Now he’s gotta design 2600+ compatible stickers! Lol just kidding.

the Crash didn't so much affect gamers as much as it did the retailers and publishers.

This 100%! Even though I had computers in the house I still played my Colecovision all the way up until the Genesis release.

Part of my crash influenced experience, not knowing there was a crash:  Being at the mall with that giant bin of 2600 games at KB Toys, and mom would let us pick a game out because they were $1-$3.

 

Second part - 1984, after family got a CoCo 2.  "Wow, these games are way better than Atari!"

 

1986-7:  Holy cow the Nintendo is amazing!

 

 

Thanks for this post, it gives me a good template to describe my experience back in the day.

I was oblivious to the crash also. I remember purchasing a few Colecovision games in the bargain bins at the mall. All under $5. The one that stands out the most was Pepper 2. 
 

2nd part. After I saved up enough cash my father matched dollar for dollar so I can get a new 800 XL. My same reaction,wow so much better then my old consoles. 
 

1986—87 Holy cow my new Atari ST is amazing! 

 

For me it wasn’t ET or Pac-Man that killed gaming for me. It was the upgrade to the new computers.

I’m curious as to what 70 games are reviewed. Anyone have a list?

I don't know what more you'd like me to do?

I should have done a lot more research before asking? I've seen so many posts about people taking advantage of your work. I was trying to help...
