Shaggy the Atarian Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Time for another mascot discussion thread, but I'll back it up with an almost 40 minute long video I put together Includes some rare pics of the bizarre "Oswald" mascot that Atari was cooking up in the 90s. Of course I know some think of non-Atari characters like Pac-Man or Pitfall Harry as Atari's mascot but those can't ever realistically - or legally - count Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astro Rabby Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Bentley Bear is probably the best option if they wanted to try something like that. I didn't know he already had a side scroller lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know he already had a side scroller lol Dude, Bentley has such potential. All he needs a good game and more of social media prescense. Like, it was his 40th birthday this year and Atari did nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 That’s Atari in general, right? All they need is a killer game and an enormous marketing budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think he would be remembered today if Donkey Kong and Super Mario Bros had been bad games? He's just a fat plumber, nothing special. Sonic is probably more interesting in terms of character design though, but he would have been forgotten as well if the first game had not been a huge success. So actually you don't only need a good game, you need a commercial success, which is even harder to get these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
