Infogrames re-christens itself Atari

[bbrv]

It is actually a VERY GOOD idea :-o ,

Watch what happens next...;-)

Just ask Ben (Yoris) where Bruno got his start...;-)

Isn't it funny that we were just discussing Nolan the other day!  :-D

The Amiga Community can NOW figure it all out -- use the Rich Woods technique...but be smart and figure out how to do something about it.  Email us if you have a question.

Happy day(s ahead!)!

Raquel and Bill  :-)

Pure Hypothesis...

Hi Bruno, this is bbrv. Remember us?  Yeah, we were those crazy people who were trying to get Amiga into a STB in the mid-90s.  We came to France, because AOL and Compuserve had less than 100,000 subscribers in the US and  RJ11 outlets were not near TV sets in the USA and Canada.  In France there were over 6 million Minitel users who were "online" and plenty of infrastructure (businesses/info providers, etc.) to support users.  Plus, the French had funny telephone cords that went all over the house.   Anyway, remember you gave us access to 20+ titles you were not using any more, and...etc.

Ah yes, I remember now!  I said you guys were very smart.  Too bad it did not work.  Anyway, what is happening now?

Well, we have something new.  We have hardware, an operating system and a fairly useful bundle of applications.  We do our own manufacturing.  We have an active development community and some of the best software developers in the world.  You have games, a well organized distribution network, a Nasdaq listed company and a BRAND, Atari.  We could do something with all that together?!?!

Together?!?!?

Sure, we could even call Nolan.  He was porting games to arcade machines running Linux last time we checked.  He would love doing this.  King Pong!  What do you think?  :-D

 :-o

:lol:

You never know...could someone get us Bruno's number in Lyon?

Leo, well that would be something Infogrames/Atari might want to do.  We have what they do not.

Redrumloa, we spoke to them early last year.  They wanted $60,000 to $100,000 up front and a royalty per unit.  Plus, the license was not exclusive.  Tulip had already licensed a company in Germany for example that sells/sold answering machines, telephones, fax machines, etc.  The brand value has been eroded here in Europe where Commodore was the most successful.  Anyway, we heard recently that Tulip was about to go under, so who knows...

Atari could be an interesting opportunity for us...we will see.

Sincerely,
R&B :-)
