What I meant is that "with the new iteration" of stuff I am going to work on I may have "a code base" that could work on Switch too.

Same.

Though if push came to shove what would really float my Switch boat would be a LS twin-stick shooter, along Llamatron/Minotron lines. Sigh.

Sorry if this has been covered already, but for whatever reason or curiosities sake, I still get update emails from that Atari VCS project they're doing. (No way I helped fund that thing..) I just got an email today about the CES recap though and in it had this picture of Tempest 4000 on it's interface.
Is LS involved at ANYWAY with this thing?

I don't think so, Tempest 4000 is owned by Atari and they have all the say on what happens with it which is a bummer but it is what it is...

Well the story is really a "no story" .. I mean it's truly not much more than what you already know, "we made some offers" ( about things we'd like to do/work on" .. and the answer been around "Not now but we'll let you know" ..

And that's all about it.

Understood. We know that it's effectively out of your hands still. Still, appreciate the status update, even if it's still "the news is there is no new news". :)

I can add "the person we were in touch with during T4K" no longer works for "Atari" ( left quite a while ago ).

At this point unless someone direclty gets in touch with us we really have no contacts any more with them, so that's all about it really.

Of the famous VCS we never ever had a chance to "have any serious talk about it",I mean at some point were "close to maybe getting somewhere" then things changed and nothing came out of it.

It will always remain a regret for me that T4K should have been "our first VR game", that "it did exist in VR AND WAS REALLY AWESOME" but that probably nobody will ever see that ...

But yeah, it did exist.

Played the demo for Oculus DK2 of TxK that was put up on their site back in the early days. That was indeed very cool and a shame no such VR evolution was allowed to exist.

"Atari" are knobs.

I do wonder what the thinking from Atari was, to me and considering the game is or was ready to go it's a no brainer! Something in there mad minds went the other way I just can't imagine what. The only possible thinking would be they plan a resurgence in a year or two and they will release it then.
