Wow....I don't know when this was filmed, but it was definitely before my time. My experience with Atari didn't happen until 1994 with the Jaguar (other than arcade cabs). I started playing in 1986 on the Nes and Sega Master System. I feel in love with gaming, and I have never stopped. Addendum - Today, we (fiancee and I) have every console from the test launch of the Atari 7800 in 1984 through the Xbox Series X, PS5, Switch, Steam Deck. My favorite generation was the 5th.
Hard to believe that despite putting this much effort into production meetings, research, attention to detail and user satisfaction surveys, this is the company that came up with the ET the Extra-Terrestrial video game.
What are they playing here? A two player game where both players have a track ball? Playing against each other? What could it be? Or is it just Misslie Command in cocktail mode, with players alternating? ruclips.net/video/XDMHuDTMO90/видео.html You can clearly see why Atari was so successful back then. Great team work between designers, programmers, engineers. Those were the golden years.
This video shows exactly why Atari failed. The execs weren't gamers, didn't listen to the programmers and thought they could spend their way into success without a clear idea of who they were selling to. I'm glad Atari CoinOp.. the true Atari survived the market crash. The other spun off Atari console and computer division run by the Tramiel's thought low cost was the only driving factor in success. They to didn't understand what it took to succeed and failed lacking the innovation that made 400/800 computers successful, then carrying that into the future. I can't believe the Atari name is now owned by the French. What the heck. One of the most recognized American brands still... is owned by a foreign company. Oh how far we have fallen!
