Dutchman2000 Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Stargate for the C64 was supposed to be released in 1983 as part of wave one of Atarisoft releases, but it wasn't.

carlsson Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Interesting note that once Jack Tramiel took over Atari, he made sure they wouldn't make any more games for the Commodore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't the AtariSoft initiative dead by that point anyway? I don't think it was a personal vendetta against Commodore (though I wouldn't put it past Jack) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Not sure. It appears that Atari UK used the label for A8 releases longer, but the US publishing may have stopped before or when Jack took over. Wikipedia has a long list of titles and systems for which Atarisoft had partly or entirely completed games, just never published. I suppose the margin on selling video games wasn't great enough to reconsider the decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
