Still have to over come marketing and management too unfortunately .Production problems are overcome and the brilliance of the Amiga is recognized securing Commodore's hold on the computer market. Uses varying from visual effects to NASA satellites prove it's versatility.
Also have Atari buy the licensing rights for the NES. That would change EVERYTHING!!!y'know, I was think about the possibility of Atari being in a position similar to what Apple and Microsoft are now. Maybe having them remain an independent company instead of being sold to Warner Communications would help them by a long shot. My other suggestions after that would be:
- Keep Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Jay miner in the company. This could help Atari's computer division and perhaps even console division.
- Have Nolan Bushnell remain head of Atari till around 1982-1983. After that, we could replace him with maybe Jim Morgan or one of the Steves.
With all this, we could see an Atari replacing Apple, creating computers, consoles, and eventually cellphones. I do have an idea of Atari holding a stake for Chuck E Cheese's (since Nolan Bushnell was also the founder of Chuck E Cheese's, but i'm not sure if that's likely.
- Give the people who would later create Activision better treatment, keeping them in the company and perhaps have their future games Atari exclusive.
That could have its effects on the rental industry, but i'm not sure how big they would actually be.How about...
If Family Video was able to take over the remaining Blockbuster locations by at least 2012 ish?
Funny thing was Bushnell was given the chance to invest in Apple. I bet he regrets turning THAT opportunity down.y'know, I was think about the possibility of Atari being in a position similar to what Apple and Microsoft are now.

Yes, I have heard of that situation. I was just wondering how Atari could keep up with two computer brands (Apple's Apple II/Macintosh and Atari's own computers), so I decided to just have Steve Jobs and Wozniak stay at Atari.Funny thing was Bushnell was given the chance to invest in Apple.
