Seems to me they'd be better off releasing the original Intellivision titles rather than these "updated" versions. But then they'd still need some solid new exclusive titles like Earthworm Jim 3 to justify a $150+ console. I wish them luck with all that . . .
@joey302 I think Tramiel's interest was mainly in trying to stick it to Commodore after he left and so his focus was primarily on the PC market. His purchase of Atari from Warner interrupted the release of the 7800 because the two argued back and forth over who should pay the subcontractor for its development. If Atari had launched the 7800 nationally in late '84/early '85 and focused solely on consoles, they'd likely still be something of the company people remember.
