    TrekMD reacted to D r Clu in Atari's Character Bench: Who Is Mascot-Worthy?   
    I believe I have.  I believe that character showed as a mascot suit in another movie I was watching once.  Kawaee!
     
     
    As for Bentley Bear, ok for the longest I pushed for Bubsy as the mascot, at least for the Atari Jaguar.
    I think Bentley Bear IS the unspoken mascot for Atari.  At least over time he has gotten a lot of screen time and fairly well represented over the various Atari platforms.
    Check this out, I was actually quite amazed!
    Atari 2600 - Crystal Castles
    Atari (5200?), 400/800, XL, XE - Crystal Castles
    Atari 7800 - Bentley Bear Crystal Quest (homebrew)
    Atari ST -
    Crystal Castle
    Bentley Bear's Alphabet Tutor
    Bentley Bear's Equation Builder
    Bentley Bear's General Store
    Bentley Bear's Magical Anagrams
    Bentley Bear's Magical Math 1
    Bentley Bear's Magical Math 2
    Bentley Bear's Magical Math 3
    Bentley Bear's Memory Master
    Bentley Bear's Memory Master II
    Bentley Bear's Spelling Bee
    Bentley Bear's Typing Tutor
    Atari Jaguar - Atari Karts
    Other appearances:

    And I like how Bentley Bear is the main show character for Atari Mania cover art.  (Haven't had a chance to look at the actual game or whatever it is)

    Three appearances in 50th Anniversary with the arcade Crystal Castles, 2600 Crystal Castles, and Atari Karts.
    Bentley Bear apparently made an appearance in Wreck-It-Ralph.  Not a great likeness, but the basics are there...

    So yeh, I think Bentley Bear is already the unspoken mascot for Atari.  And you know what, I'm ok with that.  He's kinda cute, and I like how there is still a lot to know about the character.

    You know, Atari (the current Atari) still have a chance to do this!  They need to choose a mascot and run with it!

    Yep, that makes sense.  Then Atari missed on the opportunity to really make the Pac their mascot.  One of many missed opportunities.

    Wow, people actually think Pac-Man was Atari's mascot?  Interesting considering the arcade game was not theirs.  It would have been interesting had Atari gotten al rights and made it their mascot.  Bentley Bear could have used in more games.  Cyrstal Quest is a homebrew title that shows that more could have been done with the character.  He does show up in Atari Karts too but can you imagine if he had been used to theme pinball games, puzzle games, and other types of games?

    TrekMD reacted to RickR in Evercade Duke Nukem Collections!   
    TWO cartridge collections for Duke Nukem -- preorders are open now for a release before the end of this year. 
    I don't know about you, but I'm stoked for these.  More info here:  https://evercade.co.uk/evercade-game-spotlight-duke-nukem-3d-total-meltdown/
    One of our biggest announcements of 2023 was that Evercade will be playing host to the triumphant return of one of gaming’s most beloved action heroes: Duke Nukem. And this is no ordinary rerelease: rather than simply emulating the original MS-DOS PC versions of Duke Nukem and its sequel, we’ve built a full remastered package specifically for the Evercade platform, including numerous enhancements — plus the option to enjoy the games as they appeared back in the day.
    Alongside this, we’re also continuing our efforts to contribute to worldwide video game preservation efforts by providing the first ever commercial rereleases of four 32-bit Duke Nukem titles since they first hit the market in the late ’90s and early 2000s. Across two butt-kicking Evercade cartridges, there’s more than enough Duke Nukem to keep you busy for a good long while, and we’re super-excited to finally make these games available to you.
    Since the two Duke Nukem Collection cartridges are now available for preorder from your favourite Evercade retailers, and these are some of the biggest, most well-known games we’ve ever licensed, we thought we’d take the time to dive deep into each individual title rather than providing a simple overview of each cart.

    Everybody is welcome here, but we leave divisive conversations at the door before we come in so that we can all have fun and get along. Let's not find things to disagree on, argue about and foment negativity. Let's find shared interests to be excited about and have fun with!

    We don't discuss politics or divisive issues of any kind here, period. Atari I/O is an escape from the rest of the world. Do not inject divisiveness into our community. Divisive topics and posts will be deleted without notice. Accounts that wantonly push the boundary to see what they can get away with will be placed on manual moderation with all posts held until approved.
    Same goes for mopey topics that breed negativity. Atari I/O is a place to have fun.
