   This thread is crossposted to rec.games.video.classic. On rgvc, Jack   
   Tramiel is seen as the one who killed off console gaming at Atari,   
   starting with shelving the 7800 for two years until he found it useful   
   as a (weak) response to the NES.   
      
   Not that I care much either way. After having a Studio II, a 2600, and a   
   5200, I didn't get another console system until after I started   
   collecting 2600 games in the mid '90s. Computer-wise, I switched from   
   TRS-80 to Macintosh in '85, and I made the right choice among the three   
   68000 systems of the day. I just had a gut feeling that neither the ST   
   nor the Amiga had a long-term future.
