How would people on here feel if Atari and Amiga joined and created a games console ?

Go with MiniMig, its already built.

What if I didn't get up this morning? What if I had just stayed in bed? Besides that, the million dollar "what if" question would have to be, what if people stopped posting drivel?

I used to say "atari suxx, amiga roxx", so I'll stick with that. :lol:

Atari doesn't exist, it's just Hasbro renamed...
And Amiga hasn't existed since around 1994... Its current name is owned by a company that does nothing useful at all...
So... A console to be created by a software company that has nothing to do with Atari of old, plus a company that holds a few nearly worthless old Amiga patents...
I'm sure it would be highly successful... In fact, it would be about as successful as relaunching the Commodore Plus/4 as a 2007 computer.
I don't even know why I bothered to respond to this... Probably because I've had a few :pint: :pint: :pint: tonight... Otherwise, I'd have let it go!

Do you mean when the companies were still relevant, or right now?
Either way, the result would probably be the same: nothing. Amiga's hardware wasn't really designed with game consoles in mind, and Atari's games were't worth much after the 80's.
Well, OK, Tempest 2000 on my Jaguar is pretty cool once in a while. But, damn, that Jaguar boot-up screen is just pathetic. ;-)

Some of you people need to lighten up a little . I left the scene a while back and wanted to come back . Apart from the little information on Wikapeadia I dont know whats really happened to the Amiga or Atari . I was just looking at the basics . 2 platforms that were really big in the 80's that effectively dont existin the 21st Century . What would be a commercial viable way for Amiga to return to the commercial world for all consumers ? I was thinking as another option releasing say 100,000 Amiga 1200 or 600 as a pack with OS4 and 100 built in games for like $300 or so . What if this happened ? And what if it worked ??? The way I see it is to increase the amount of users .
Another option is to mybe create an online game such as www.wwiionline.com which is purely Amiga based . I especially bought a $3000 computer just to play this game , I would do the same for the Amiga . If we could get it to work with every computer including the old amiga 500 Im sure we could get some more users .
On another note how many people on here dont work in IT ?
