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

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?

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 ?
