Get this into your heads. Nolan Bushnell has had nothing to do with Atari since he sold his shares in the late 70's and left Atari. The Atari brandname has since been through various hands including Time Warner, Jack Tramiel, Hasbro and, most recently, Infogrames. And anyone who thinks Infogrames would waste a perfectly good brandname on a two bit outfit like Genesi are deluding themselves. But hey... let's face it... that won't stop this warped party of prize pillocks from attempting to immorally cash in on yet another companies brandname ;-)

P.S. I hope Nolan comes to his senses

So... you're saying having Nolan Bushnell on board allows you to hijack a brand name that has naff all to do with you? You really are a moron aren't you?

I'm not assuming anything. I'm answering those people who have already made erronous posts in this thread thinking the Nolan link means Genesi has rights to use the Atari name.

Let's face it. It ain't gonna happen. The current Atari want the name for a reason and that doesn't include promoting some second rate hardware. They want it purely to market games into an already well established market.
