10 years of Atari emails. Fascinating stuff

Subj:   COMMENTARY...


Franusic has some valid points.  However, what Atari does not need right
now are quitters.  I've seen Atari make many mistakes and I am sure that
I will see many more, but, Atari is a large corporation and it is good
to remember that Large corportations may stumble, but they seldom fall.

There will be plenty of time to decide to quit if Atari really shows signs
of colapsing.  It is true that things are not what they used to be.  Games
are not as popular as before.  The markets are glutted, both Consumer and
Coin-op.  That glutting cannot go on forever, however.  There is a product
lifetime which, once past, even the best products (for their time) cannot
be sold.  When the video game companies (Atari included) can no longer dump
their excess inventories of old games (hopefully this will not take more that

a year,) then new games can begin to go back on the market in a controlled
fassion.  When that time comes, we must be prepared with some VERY GOOD,
VERY ORIGINAL products.

Entertainment is not a fad, but repetition does not make for good entertainment.
The game industry must stop cloning the old games.  We must come up with
original concepts.  It does not necessarily mean creating bold advances in
technology.  It means taking bold advances in our imagination.  If we can
achieve that, then a games sucess is assured.

WELL I DECIDED TO SPLURGE FOR NEW YEARS EVE. I MADE THE RESERVATIONS MONTHS IN
ADVANCE. I CALLED AHEAD 1/2 HOUR BEFORE TO SEE IF THEY WERE BEHIND SCHEDULE.
I WAS TOLD ABOUT 10 MINUTES. SO I SHOWED UP ON TIME. I WAITED 50 MINUTES BEFORE
I LEFT. ALL I RECIEVED WAS VERY INSINCERE APOLOGIES, AND THE STATEMENT (I QUOTE)
" WELL BY THE TIME YOU GET ANY WHERE ELSE IT WILL BE JUST AS LONG A WAIT".

   SO WHERE WAS THIS, YOU ASK. A DIVE CALLED "LE MOUTON NOIR"

THIS PLACE HAS GOOD FOOD, BUT I REFUSE TO WAIT FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING
REAMED OUT IN THE POCKET BOOK. GOOD FOOD DOES NOT MAKE UP FOR AN ATMOSPHERE
OF HOSTILE SNOBBERY.

P.S.   THIS IS NOT A SNAP JUDGEMENT, AS ON A PREVIOUS VISIT FOR A SPECIAL
OCCASION I WAITED MORE THAN AN HOUR AFTER BEING SEATED TO RECIEVE
(AN ADMITTEDLY GOOD) DINNER.

   YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Looks like there's some gold in those emails, I just found this one by quick scanning:

III. COMPETITOR UPDATE
       
     HERE'S A BRIEF UPDATE AS TO NEW GAMES AND RUMORS I HEARD OUT ON THE ROAD,
     MOST OF THIS STUFF SHOULD SHOW UP AT AMOA.

     NINTENDO:
     NINTENDO HAS TWO NEW GAMES FOR THEIR UNISYSTEM. A SOCCER GAME THAT REALLY
     LOOKED LOUSY SHOULD NOT BE A FACTOR IN THE MARKETPLACE AT ALL, REGARDLESS
     OF COST.  ANOTHER GAME MACH RIDER LOOKED REALLY PRETTY BAD, BUT MAY DO OK
     FOR THEIR SYSTEM..IT IS RATHER POOR QUALITY POLE POSITION ON MOTORCYCLE
     WITH SHOOTING AND OBSTACLE AVOIDANCE THROWN IN...STINKO!

     THERE IS ALSO RUMOR OF A ARM WRESTLING CONVERSION FOR THE BASE OF PUNCH
     OUT GAMES THAT ARE OUT THERE. APPARANTELY, HOWEVER, THE GAME IS NOT
     TESTING THAT WELL, AND SINCE IS NOT DEVELOPED BY THEIR HOME DESIGNERS
     FOR THE UNISYSTEM, MIGHT BE QUITE EXPENSIVE, I.E. SUPER PUNCH OUT.

     THE OTHER THING THEY HAVE DONE IS COME OUT WITH A CONVERSION SET-UP FOR
     PAC-MAN THAT ALLOWS THOSE OLD PAC-MAN GAMES TO BE CONVERTED INTO, YOU
     GUESSED IT, UNISYSTEMS.  HOWEVER, THEY ARE HAVING SOME PROBLEMS WITH
     THIS CONCEPT AND OPERATORS ARE NOT EXACTLY GOING FOR IT AS THEY DID WITH
     THE DONKEY KONG UNISYSTEMS...THE PROBLEMS ARE FOURFOLD...THE PAC KIT IS
     EXPENSIVE (MORE THAN THE DONKEY VERSION AND ALMOST AS MUCH AS A NEW
     UNISYSTEM)...IT IS A VERY DIFFICULT CONVERSION...MANY OPERATORS ARE
     RELUCTANT TO CONVERT PAC MAN'S...AND MANY OF THE PAC MAN'S HAVE BURNED
     IN MAZES IN THE MONITORS AND THE CONVERSION'S LOOK REALLY POOR BEHIND THE
     PHOSPHUR BURNS.

     BALLY/SENTE:
     NOTHING REALLY TO REPORT HERE, EXCEPT FOR A FOUR PLAYER HAT TRICK THAT IS
     PRESENTED IN A NEW FOUR PLAYER TABLE TOP CONFIGURATION, NOT FOR THE 
     EXISTING SENTE CABINET THAT ALREADY HAS BEEN CHANGED BEFORE.  THIS SEEMS
     TO HAVE REALLY TICKED OFF OPERATORS AND DISTRIBUTORS WHO WERE HOPING THIS
     PIECE TO BE A CONVERSION FOR THEIR EXISTING SENTE SYSTEMS.

     BALLY HAS SHOWN NOTHING NEW EXCEPT FOR YET ANOTHER ARTICLE BY BOB MULLANE,
     THEIR CEO, IN BOTH CHICAGO PAPERS STATING THAT HE DID NOT OPTIMISTICALLY
     FEEL THAT BALLY WOULD BE A FORCE IN THE COIN-OP MARKETPLACE VERY MUCH
     LONGER...IN FACT HE SAID SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT THAT BRINGING BACK
     BALLY'S ENGINEERING FORCE TO ANYTHING LIKE IT ONCE WAS WOULD BE..."ALMOST
     IMPOSSIBLE."

     DATA EAST:
     THESE GUYS SEEM LIKE THEY WILL COOL-OFF SOON BECAUSE THEY DON'T SEEM TO
     HAVE ANYTHING TO GOOD UP THEIR SLEAVES...(MAYBE THAT'S WHY TOM PETTIT AND
     JOLLY BACKER JUST LEFT?)...BUT YOU NEVER CAN BE SURE WITH DATA EAST...THEY
     ALWAYS SEEM TO PULL RABBITS OUT OF THEIR HATS.

     THEY HAVE TESTED A SHOOTING GAME CALLED "SHOOT-OUT" THAT IS SUPPOSEDLY NOT
     DOING THAT GREAT AND IS ALLREADY APPARENTLY SELLING AT ROCK BOTTOM CLOSE-
     OUT PRICES.  ALSO, WE KNOW THEY HAVE "TANK" WHICH WE HAD IN-HOUSE AND WERE
     NOT TO CRAZY ABOUT, RIGHT?

     WILLIAMS:
     THEY HAVE DONE IT AGAIN WITH ANOTHER SUPERB PIN-BALL GAME CALLED "COMET".
     THIS ONE IS REALLY, REALLY FUN TO PLAY AND OFFERS TONS OF ACTION UTILIZING
     AN AMUSEMENT PARK THEME.  IT OFFERS GREAT SOUND EFFECTS AND THE FIRST EVER
     1 MILLION POINT SHOT...WILL MAKE PEOPLE FORGET ABOUT SPACE SHUTTLE...ROGER
     SHARPE WILL LOVE IT (BUT IT DOES END ROGER!) AND HE'LL UNDOUBTEDLY CALL IT
     GAME OF THE SHOW AT THE UPCOMING AMOA.

     INCIDENTALLY, THE GAME IS ON TEST AT OUTER LIMITS MT. VIEW IF YOU WANT TO
     PLAY WITH IT.

     CINEMATRONICS:
     SURPRISINGLY, THESE GUYS ARE STILL AROUND...BUT PROBABLY JUST BARELY.
     THEY HAVE A SYSTEM OUT AND ARE SHOWING A PRETTY DECENT 2-PLAYER SOCCER
     GAME CALLED "POWER PLAY".  IT IS PLAYED LIKE SOCCER BUT YOU CAN PUNCH
     OUT YOUR OPPONENT AND HIS GOALIE WITH A PUNCH BUTTON.  HEARING THAT IT
     IS NOT DOING THAT GREAT ON TEST.

     I HAVE ALSO HEARD ABOUT A BASEBALL GAME APPARENTLY CALLED "WORLD SERIES:
     THE SEASON".  DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT IT BUT THEIR SYSTEM DOES HAVE
     VERY GOOD GRAPHICS AND SOUND CAPABILITIES, JUDGING FROM THE SOCCER PIECE.
   
     KONAMI:
     THEY HAVE BEEN SHOWING A NEW CONVERSION FOR ANY RASTER GAME CALLED
     "RUSH N' ATTACK"...IT IS A RAMBO GAME ALL THE WAY AND IS REALLY PRETTY
     GOOD.  YOU ARE TRYING TO RESCUE A BUNCH OF TIED UP GREEN BERETS AND ARE
     SNEAKING AROUND IN A RUSSIAN ARMY COMPLEX...IT'S COOL, YOU CAN KUNG-FU
     RUSSIANS, SHOOT RUSSIANS, GRENADE RUSSIANS AND EVEN FLAME THROW THE PANTS
     OFF OF THEM LITTLE COMMIE BASTARDS...REAGAN WILL LOVE IT...IT'S BEING
     CALLED "GREEN BERETS" IN EUROPE BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL SCARED OF THE RUSKIES
     OVER THERE.

     SEGA:
     APPARENTLY NOTHING NEW BESIDES HANG-ON, WHICH IS DOING PRETTY WELL BUT IS
     RATHER EXPENSIVE.  THESE GUYS ARE ALSO HEAVILY IN TO DOING THE AFORE
     MENTIONED "REDEMPTION EQUIPMENT"...AND OFFER SEVERAL DIFFERENT TYPES OF
     CRANE GAMES CURRENTLY.

     ATARI:
     I MUST MENTION THE UNBELEIVABLE REACTION WE HAVE BEEN GETTING FOR
     "GAUNTLET".  WORD IS DEFINATELY OUT THAT THE PIECE IS HOT AND THE WHOLE
     INDUSTRY SEEMS TO BE VERY EXCITED BY IT'S EXPECTED RELEASE.  EVEN
     OUR MANUFACTURING COMPETITORS ARE SAYING THEY REALLY THINK THE PIECE IS
     A GOOD ONE.

     "TEMPLE" TOO IS REALLY DOING WELL AND SEEMS TO HAVE TAKEN THE MARKET AWAY
     FOR USED "MARBLE MADNESSES" ALMOST OVER NIGHT, AS OPERATORS SCRAMBLE TO
     GET CHEAP BASE UNITS TO CONVERT.  WITH THE USED CABINET MARKET GONE, AND
     THE GAME DOING GREAT, WE SHOULD HAVE A REAL GOOD SHOT AT INCREASING THE
     BASE UNITS OF SYSTEM 1.
     
     THE BOY STILL HANGS! CHECK THE LATEST PLAY-METER POLL...

     IT'S COOL, YOU CAN KUNG-FU
     RUSSIANS, SHOOT RUSSIANS, GRENADE RUSSIANS AND EVEN FLAME THROW THE PANTS
     OFF OF THEM LITTLE COMMIE BASTARDS...REAGAN WILL LOVE IT...IT'S BEING
     CALLED "GREEN BERETS" IN EUROPE BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL SCARED OF THE RUSKIES
     OVER THERE.

Subj:   SECURITY, GAMES, AND PLANTS


Some major changes are being made with-in our facilities which in one
way or another will affect all employees.  These changes have been
approved and will be put into effect at this time.

SECURITY


To beef up our warehouse security,  the two gates separating the manuf-
acturing warehouse from the engineering portion will be kept locked at
all times.  The locks have been rekeyed, employees requiring access
through these gates must check out the key from the main lobby.

GAMES

A program has been undertaken to restore our archive games to working
condition whereby they will be retained as archives and at the same
time be available for use by the employees.

The front lobby of 675 will be utilized for this purpose.

All archive games
                  will be marked with an "ARCHIVE GAME" sticker, and
any game so marked will not be permitted to leave the building.

PLANTS

A decision has been made as to the disposition of our interior plants.

Our plants for the most part are deteriorating adding little
enhancement to our buildings.  During the pass two years, several
methods have been tried in hopes of up-grading, but have failed.

In September we aquired the services of an interior landscape con-
sultant to evaluate our plant problems.  The results of his survey
allowed us two choices:  One being to overhaul (transplant, feed,
and maintain) our existing plants.  This sounded pretty good until
we were told that only about twenty-five plants out of all the
plants in the building were worth the efford.

Our second choice, which we decided had more merit, was to remove
all the plants from the buildings and replace them with new ones.

Going along with our second choice created still another problem.
To replace plant for plant would not be an equitable solution as
many of our employees do not have plants in their offices or work
stations.

Giving careful consideration to all aspects, we feel we have arrived
at a conclusion befitting all our employees.  The following guide
lines will be put into effect for both the manufacturing and
engineering buildings.

1.  New plants will be placed in all common areas, lobbies,
    cafeteria, lunnch rooms, and executive offices.

2.  Employees are permitted to have personal plants in their
    offices and/or immediate work area.  The maintenance of
    these plants will be the responsibility of the employee.

3.  All "Atari" plants (with containers) are to be removed
    from our buildings, no exceptions please.  Employees
    wishing to take their "Atari" plant home are encouraged
    to do so with the stipulation that their plant not find
    its' way back into our buildings.  (Just think, this
    would make a nice Valentine's gift for that someone
    special).

Our new plants are expected to start arriving shortly after
Valentine's Day.  We ask that all the plants be removed by Friday,
February 13th. (How about that for timing ?)  Any "Atari" plants
remaining in the buildings after this date will be disposed of.
So I won't be accused of a Saint Valentine's Day massacre, the
clean-up will begin the following Monday.

Three final items:

Please be careful when removing plants from the building, plastic
bags if needed can be obtained from the main lobby.

The plants located in our main lobby and cafeteria are to remain
until replaced with new ones.

Finally, if you have a persoal plant that fits the description of
an "Atari" plant, please contact me for conformation.

Thanks again for your support.  Bob

- so if I take my plant home, then bring it back in, everything's ok?
but if I leave it here and don't let it visit my house, it's doomed??

   IT IS WITH GREAT REGRETS THAT I SAY GOOD-BYE. NO, I'M NOT LEAVING, BUT
MY PLANT IS.
   MY PLANT AND I HAVE SHARED AN OFFICE TOGETHER FOR EIGHT LOVING YEARS.
SURE, THERE WERE GOOD TIMES AND BAD TIMES, BUT WE STUCK IT OUT. SHE ALMOST
DIDN'T SURVIVE HAVING "PROFESSIONAL" CARE, BUT SHE'S BACK TO GOOD HEALTH
NOW.
   SO, SHE'S BEEN FIRED, TERMINATED, ASKED TO GO. WHERE WILL SHE GO? SHE
WILL GO HOME WITH ME, DEFEATED AND BROKEN. I KNOW SHE WILL DIE THERE.  SHE
IS USED TO FLUORESCENT LIGHT, NOISE AND STRESS. THE QUIET DARKNESS WILL END

DOORS

A decision has been made as to the disposition of our interior doors.

JUST THOUGHT THAT I'D PASS AL;ONG THIS LIOTTLE TID-BIT OF INFORMATION I SAW
IN A RECENT EDITION OF AMERICAN DEMOGRAPHICS.

IT MAY BE SOMETHING WE SHOULD THINK ABOUT AS WE CONSIDER NEW IDEAS AND
CONCEPTS:

"THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE AGED 13 TO 24- THE HIGHEST PER CAPITA CONSUMERS OF SOFT
DRINKS- IS NOW SHRINKING, WHILE THE NUMBER OF 325 TO 44 YUUEAREAR OLDS IS GROWING
RAPIDLY.  SOFT DRINK MANUFACTUREERERS WHO ANTICIPATED THIS TREND HAVE SHIFTED THEIR
MARKETING STRATEGIES TO APPEAL TO THE OLDER AGE GROUP WITH DIET AND CAFFEINE-
FREE SOFT DRINKS.  THEY ARE ALSO P                 ."---TAKEN FROM AN ARTICLE ON AMERICAN DRINKING TRENDS

AS WELL IN AN EARLIER SECTION OF THE MAGAZINE, THIS PRE-AMBLE APPEARED:
"WELLS-GARDENER ELECTRONICS CORPORATION INVESTED TOO HEAVILY IN COLOR VIDEO
MONITORS FOR VIDEO GAMES JUST WHEN THE MARKET A SHRINKING TEENAGE POPULATION COULD NOT
SUSTAIN THE D4EMAND VIDEO GAME CRAZE".."

WHILE THIS MAGAZINE TENDS TO OVERSTATE THE MEANING AND IMPORTANCE OF DEMOGRAPHISIC
RESEARCH OCCASIONALLY, THEY DO MAKE A GOOD POINT.  THE CYCLKE IS CURRENTLY
TOWARDS THE OLDER END OF THE POPULATION AND AWAY FROM KIDS...ARE THEIRRE AREAS
THAT WE CAN EXPLOIT THIS TREND FOR OUR OWN GOALS?  THE BAR MARKET, STRATEGY
GAMES FOR OLDER PLAYERS NOT SKILLED IN HAND/EYE, ETC.?

MAUBE YBE WE SHOULD MAKE A VIDEO GAME WITH NEUTRA-SWEET, NO"?

Subj:   OUR HELP IS NEEDED!!


I GOT WIND OF SOMETHING RECENTLY THAT I THINK WE MAY BE ABLE TO HELP OUT
ON...YOU KNOW SOPHIE AND OMAR, THE CAFETERIA PEOPLE?  WELL, THEY ARE IN A
BAD WAY CURRENTLY AND COULD USE SOME HELP.

HERE'S THE STORY:

THEY ARE FROM IRAN (YOU KNOW, THAT CRAZY PLACE WHERE TERRORISM IS A NATIONAL
PASTIME).  ANYWAYS, THEY ARE DESPERATELY TRYING TO GET THEIR MOTHER OUT OF THEIR
BEFORE THE  (I MEAN THERE) BEFORE THE AYATOLLAH ((?) DECLARES WAR ON MOTHERHOOD.

WHAT HAPPENED WAS THAT THEY CAME TO ATARI SEEKING A LOAN IN ORDER TO GET SOME
DOUGH TO GET THEIR MOM OVER HERE PRONTO.  THEY ARE CURRENTLY TRYING TO GET
BANK LOANS, SELL THEIR CAR, ETC. IN ORDER TO RAISE SOME CASH (I THINK THE
TOTAL REQUIRED IS CLOSE TO $8,000.00)

WHAT I AM PROPOSING IS THAT WE START A DONATION POOL TO RUN THROUGHOUT NEXT
WEEK, IN ORDER TO HELP THEM GENERATE SOME CASH.  WE CAN EACH CONTRIBUTE
WHATEVER WE CAN GIVE AND AT THE END OF THE WEEK WE WILL TURN OVER ALL THE
MONIES COLLECTED DIRECTLY TO THEM.  PLEASE SEE EITHER SANDY BROWN OR MYSELF
IN ORDER TO CONTRIBUTE.

BY THE WAY, I HAVE NOT TOLD OMAR OR SOPHIE WHAT WE ARE DOING SO YOU MAY
WANT TO KEEP A LID ON IT FOR NOW.  THEY MAY GET A LITTLE EMBARRAED BY THE
WHOLE THING...BUT THEY DO REALLY NEED OUR HELP.

ONE THOUGHT I HAVE IS TO SACRIFICE OUR DOUGHNUTS NEXT FRIDAY AND PUT THAT MONEY
INTO THE FUND...ANY OTHER IDEAS LIKE THAT WOULD BE MOST WELCOME.

ANOTHER POSSIBILITY IS TO WORK LARGER DONATIONS OUT AS A LOAN...THEY ORIGINALLY
ASKED SHANE ABOUT LOANING MONEY FROM ATARI...I'M SURE THEY WOULD PAY BACK ANY
MONEY'S GIVEN, ESPECIALLY IF IT WAS A LARGE AMOUNT.

ANYWAY, PLEASE SEND ME ANY THOUGHTS YOU HAVE REGARDING THIS IDEA, ASAP.
I WILL GET BACK TO YOU SOON ABOUT DETAILS FOR THE FUND RAISER THAT WILL
RUN NEXT WEEK.

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE
