I love how Bushnell has been doing the rounds with the new Atari...it feels like he's giving his stamp of approval for Wade Rosen's revitalization of the company

Nolan Bushnell @23:20 "The power of the homebrew community can't be understated"

Thanks for sharing @PowerDubs!  I’ll definitely have to watch this. 
 

I was lucky enough to hear Nolan speak on a panel at GameFest at the Smithsonian, I think going back to 2012 (damn, it doesn’t fell like that long ago!). Ken Levine was even there!  It was great….i was so excited.

He absolutely is.

 

He has done several public talks with Wade and the new team. He is on the advisory board.   He said to Wade that he wants to see Atari become a billion dollar company again.

The fact that he didn't do this when Jack Tramiel or Bruno Bonnell  were in charge (Fred doesn't even deserve a mention ), but is doing it with Wade tells me that he really believes that Wade is going to be the one to bring Atari back to the top of the gaming industry,  man I can't wait to see what the next couple of years have in store for us.

Chris Kohler's a great guy.  Met him at a few trade shows, years back.
