If not, I'll never forgive myself for trading my 800XL for a NES.

Definately sounds like this to me.

Exec1 "We are going bust,...what can we do".

Exec2 "We need to sell more games that cost nothing to develop"

Exec1 "Who will buy a game that costs little to develop when you have consoles like the Xbox360 and PS3 pushing the boundaries of gaming"

Janitor "Why don't you develop for the Wii, that thing costs nothing to develop for, and as they are owned buy 4year olds parents buy the games"

Exec 1 "Perfect, parents know jack all about games, they'll buy turd if we put a colourful picture on the box. I'll get the whole company working on this"

I know this may seem insulting, but I expect this is really what did happen.

Well, if that's how it went, then nothing's changed. That's the reason they're in this pickle in the first place.

Hey, what happened to my comment.

Here it is, and if the first comes back I am sorry for the double post.

>>Our current strategy consists of starting to spend on capital projects again, adopting a consistent publishing policy that takes into account new market trends, and restructuring the company, including by turning around our Atari Inc. subsidiary in the United States.

Nintendo is making millions nowdays selling zero cost games with the Virtual Console.

I say Atari should do something similar with their 8-bit games. They could even actually join the Virtual Console like Sega did.

Maybe they should release the Infogrames theme song as a single?

Can we maybe get a sequel to Silver? Or at least a port for the Wii?
