Are they making smart sneakers?

No they just make speakerhats too, although the stitching is weird, almost as if an old logo was removed and Intellivision logo sewn on top...    But as a bonus, these speakhats do come with a speech synthesis module!

Makes me wonder now that if Atari also has the rights to the old Mattel Children's Discovery System computer.  It had interchangable cartridges and overlays with a few arcade game carts but it was mainly an edutainment device.  It also had the IntelliVision running man.

 

Children's Discovery System Facts for Kids

Probably not. In 1981 Mattel Electronics was a subsidiary of Mattel and this system doesn’t appear to have Mattel Electronics branding. In February 1984 Mattel sold its video game assets, but Mattel still had the Childrens Discovery System until Fall 1984.

 

Mattel Electronics did have many handheld and tabletop electronics games whose copyrights could have been part of the 1984 sale.

Seriously; Is ‘Diner’ officially a BurgerTime game, or just a BurgerTime style game, but independent as franchise…??

The characters and Burgertime logo were used under license from Dataeast but the game was a creation of INTV Corp and its developer.

Wasn't Diner originally a sequel to Masters of the Universe?

When Mattel Electronics closed in 1984, they were working on both MOTU and Burgertime sequels. The Burgertime sequel, called Pizzatime, was being developed at Mattel Electronics France, in 1984 that office spun off as Nice Ideas and Mattel allowed them to keep the copyrights for the games they were working on. A few years later INTV Corp who got the rest of the Mattel Electronics assets wanted a Burgertime sequel rather than a MOTU sequel. The MOTU game was only in early development with one background graphics screen and was turned into Diner, while Pizzatime stayed unreleased.

Haven't looked at a game list recently, but maybe they got some titles from the true successor to the Intellivision console, the Hyperscan!

 

I do realise that you are not being serious, but is Interstellar Wrestling League original IP? Everything else on the system (5 games altogether) is clearly licensed from third-parties.

It's not an IP I recognize. So there's a chance it's not licensed.

Like Sauron, I thought this would happen eventually. Especially after the M Network deal.

 

@TrogdarRobusto Everybody here would love to see a list of games that Atari acquired.

 

I believe the Intellivsion people had the trademarks for Jungle Hunt and Bump 'n Jump (for the names, not the actual games), I wonder if those were included.

Yes.

Atari shouldn’t have do that, why?

would they want to remake those old games from that system in HD for their own modern system and/or release them on online services from other brand names like sony,nintendo and microsoft?

would they feel like to port those old games into 2600 form to bundle them with other ataro 2600 games as part of their follow up flashback systems?

Or how about a new intelevision with cartride input along with HD output?

anyway i wonder what atari wants to do with that brand name and it’s games.

Wait... is this why Taito's "Pirate Pete" has been released by AtGames and via Arcade Archives, but not Jungle Hunt?

I got over the rivalry a long time ago, but this would have been fun for a April 1 announcement.  Maybe there is hope for some of the other players like Vectrex or Odyssey to be acquired and ports of games being made.

Well, the Odyssey 2 was produced by Philips (whose last foray into gaming was the CD-i).

 

I doubt that anyone at Philips would even be aware of the O2's existence, so convincing them to sell (or license) the rights would probably be the biggest challenge. That said, I cannot imagine that the asking price would be very substantial.

According to Mike of Mike's Gaming Gala, the main original programmer holds the rights for most of the games.

I'm not sure if anyone else saw this, but...

That could be the case. The trademark application expires soon so the name could be up for grabs again. Atari SA does have some Jungle Hunt games but they'd need Taito's permission to publish them.

Only one of the titles in that collection was by Ed Averitt so it's hard to say how or if they were licensed.

Intellivision had the name Jungle Hunt registered. I'm sure it was one of the ka-ga-bil-quazillion games @Tommy Tallarico would say was 'in the works' based off his dog's farts telling him someone would make it. Atari now has the trademark.

 

Taitio doesn't have it from what I can tell.

https://trademarks.justia.com/owners/taito-corporation-3663337/index.html

 

But they also don't list Pirate Pete.
