Atari-Jess Posted October 26, 2001 Share Posted October 26, 2001 Of course it would be to work at Atari, but since all thats left (thankfully) is the Atari Division (hmm a division...) at infogrames, that shall be my goal. Ill get better with programming and hopefully one day my name will be in the credits of a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liveinabin Posted October 30, 2001 Share Posted October 30, 2001 NOO! Don't work for 'new atari'. We've got to face the fact that what we loved has died, and you wouldn't want to be associated with the proud name of Atari getting further dragged through the mire, would you? The world has changed, what once was cherished and beautiful has now become 'Star Wars- episode 1' shudder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhindle The Red Posted October 30, 2001 Share Posted October 30, 2001 (1) There will be no hope for a "new" Atari of those who work for it have no sense of its history or love for its legacy. (2) I and a many millions of others quite like "Episode I"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari-Jess Posted October 30, 2001 Author Share Posted October 30, 2001 either way, its the closest im ever gonna get, and sides even if the neoatari doesn't have any feelings for its past, i do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have stated an intent to support GameCube, but have not announced any titles, Atari or otherwise. They'd be foolish to ignore it, however.

Atari-Jess Posted October 31, 2001 Author Share Posted October 31, 2001 quite foolish indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted October 31, 2001 Share Posted October 31, 2001 I suppose those who like Episode I are simply overlooking the midi-chlorians (who cares if I spelled it right?), the horrible acting attempt by the kid, the bad japanese accents on the Nimodians, Jar Jar Binks, the very distracting announcer during the Podrace, the list goes on. Granted the race itself was really cool and the lightsaber stuff was priceless. But the rest? Anyway, that's my beef, and totally off topic. I'd rather see a third party type Atari development company than the farce at Infogames. So why don't you, Atari-Jess, start your own development co? Strike out on your own, Stan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari-Jess Posted October 31, 2001 Author Share Posted October 31, 2001 would infogrames allow AtariTek? hehe id like to start making games under that name now actually... either that or just go with sygyzy (or how ever its spelled hehe) unless you guys can think of somethin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrant Posted November 1, 2001 Share Posted November 1, 2001 What would this company of yours produce? Designing and producing consoles is an incredibly dificult buisness, especially when you have to compete with the power of modern machines. Would you simply write games for the new consoles? What would be the link to Atari? You could I suppose try to improve the jaguar design, add more memory, speed up the chips, and start making new games for that. I believe I've seen files documenting the inside of the custom chips btw. It would be a great idea to re-create Atari, especially if you could get some of the old employees, and of course YaK, get him onboard and any project will be a huge hit. Incase you cant guess, I've spent too much time having the same dream lol, I think everyone here has thought about it, havnt you? p.s. How about the idea of making very small versions of the truely classic Atari games? Ones that the general public will go "oooh" when they see, put them on handheld games, or even built into t-shirts or hats (this may sound crazy but wouldnt it be cool to have PacMan in attract mode on your shirt? and the technology allready exists, its just a case of using it.)

liveinabin Posted November 1, 2001 Share Posted November 1, 2001 All of my shirts feature attract mode Hey A-Jess, why not revitalise some of those long dead VCS company names - Mystique springs to mind. Or activision or something. Is coleco up for grabs?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted November 2, 2001 Share Posted November 2, 2001 Activision still makes great games these days. And I bet if you tried to revive any of the others you'd find that somebody owns the rights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari-Jess Posted November 2, 2001 Author Share Posted November 2, 2001 i want to know who owns the imagic rights, does activision? or some dude? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hakogame 箱亀 Posted November 2, 2001 Share Posted November 2, 2001 I think the only way to truly bring back the spirit of Atari, is to allow talented individuals to design games, not committies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari-Jess Posted November 2, 2001 Author Share Posted November 2, 2001 i guess, but its still fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liveinabin Posted November 2, 2001 Share Posted November 2, 2001 Yeah, the whole homegrown industry is what keeps the spirit alive. I love the fact that people are still putting in the effort to make new games for old systems. Just because only a tiny cross section of gamers will experience these, that doesn't matter a jot. Hell, just because Back Street Boys sell X-million copies, we still know it aint music! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
