Show Notes

In 2008, when quite literally, NO ONE CARED we published a multi-part series called "Project Save Atari" with ideas and predictions for Atari's future. In 2024 we sat down to revisit it, and see how we did. These are the lost tapes from 2024 and 2008. These were predictions and suggestions to help save the then struggling Atari/Infogrames. In this lost tape from 2024,w e went back to look at the 17 year-old "Project: Save Atari" and see how we did. We also unearthed another lost tape...from 2008 where we discussed it all in context.
