Genesi today announced that RJ Mical will assume an evaluation role for Genesi.

RJ Mical was a co-inventor of the Atari Lynx handheld game system and the 3DO entertainment console, and was also head of software engineering at Ericsson Red Jade.  Most recently, RJ has been the Chief Architect for the Fathammer mobile game engine and continues today to serve as a Director. RJ will be making a full assessment of the Pegasos and MorphOS and prepare a plan to assist Genesi to move the Pegasos into the world of mobile devices.

RJ will be meeting with Pegasos and MorphOS Developers and Users this coming week in Helsinki. He will be in Finland on Fathammer business.

I've never played with a Lynx, but the 3D0 was something else.

(But I preferred the Jaguar, sorry RJ)

The MegaST was done under Sam Tramiel's watch.  He had a heart attack shortly after the Jaguar's launch, and his father Jack took over.  First thing Jack did was slash advertising and support budgets across the board.
