What was the true essence of the original Atari? How can this be revived in a contemporary manner?
Here is my take on it:
- Gameplay was superior to other offerings and compared to other entertainment of the day exciting enough to draw an audience.
- It was niche. Yes, a niche in a growing field: "the digital revolution" if you will, but a niche.
- Competitive. Highscores were a zeriou$ thing in the arcardes.
I would say, therefore, the //new Atari// has to be a esports league, the best, which produces it's own games. Focus on a few but well-balanced games. Focus on 1-2 types of sports. "Space Invaders", "Pac Man" and a "3D" thing, to speak in old-Atari terms. Quality. Like StarCraft.
Sell a special .MOD to "professional" players. Have exclusive deals with YouTubers who do the "broadcasting". Have the league finals in Las Vegas with many exciting things!
