So...
The french company Infogrames (who bought the rights to the name Atari 16 years ago, the current Atari has no relation to the one that made the 2600) is going to release something, which may or may not involve Nolan Bushnell, which may or may not involve Palmer Luckey, which may or may not be VR related, which probably has wood grain. All we know is that it's pc based and the system design isn't finished yet (CEO said these in the interview linked above).


Seems a bit too vague to get excited about just yet.

I can't imagine there is room in the console space for another player but if it's just a cool looking PC that could be fun.

You could be right, perhaps another OUYA, but that was pretty k3wl.  Palmer did say he wanted some k3wl swort art online stuff, and he is the founder of mod retro, and what can be more HRHET RHO than ATARI, Scooby doo? LOL~!  He needs a way to spend is money that makes him kewl and have fun, this would go down as Legend topping even his previous conquests.

Cyber  All I know is I saw Padawan just tell a arsehole reporter at twitty, we are all gonna be LAUGHIN our asses off in the future at the clowns all around us making us smile!  That made me spew spit out on by keyboard laughing so fucking hard.  God damn what a clown, I love him, I want to hate him so much, but he is just such a damn jester, oh bless you all.  Cyber I am gonna tell the threat about a stpry involving you and geekmaster.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_vmOvfbg90 Damn I am having so much fun, palmer is right, no matter what the future holds, we have to get there, its gonna be where the most laughs are - going out on some HHGTTG

Hi Martin. I was just thinking yesterday that it's been a while since you were around. 🙂

There was a Scooby Doo game on the Intellivision.
Intellivision was Mattel's 1979 competitor to the Atari 2600. It also had fake wood grain and was actually the world's first 16 bit console. Awesome system. I had an intellivision and an Atari 2600 back in the early days.

I bring out the original 2600 Atari when I want to play it.  Nothing like the original. (There are a few more games I want to get for it, though.)

I was at a federal consortium of virtual worlds conference in DC, all these pentagon guys were there, for some reason I had a "wake up time to die" blade runner shirt on with LEON.  So one of the pentagon generals comes up to me and starts telling me about Philip k dick, (who you know thought we were living in multiple realities simultaneously) and how they brought him in for some remote viewing type stuff but said he was was seeing the future and it scared some people at the pentagon.  I thought blade runner was a CURSE on brands, that many brands had bankrupted that showed up in blade runner?  So it seems the legend is true, Atari did go down, another victim of the curse.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHWeYFdjEQ4  I am not sure what is going on, but alan watts said boredom would be our biggest challenge as a society, and I am tending to agree, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xCFoJ0aywc  Lots of vr, mixed with psychedelics going to bring so many new experiences to bored souls.
