I'm still reading it.. I did not know Psygnosis was working on a dev kit !
Best quote so far " If Atari had
understood that the games were the business model and
invested appropriately, then those hardware bugs could
have been found earlier, they could have had more launch
games, that‘s what they could have done differently.”

I just tried to ask Bruce Carso if the Jaguar CD development folder he showed me when I spent 3 weeks down there survived the recent house fire and he said he didn't remember it... He is getting old. I'll have to call him and trigger his memory.
It was a huge folder containing the entire development of the Jag CD, from initial sketches, emails between the plastic molding company ( somewhere down south, I believe ) and Phillips... just EVERYTHING! I sat on his couch and thumbed through it for a few hours. There were drop tests; It failed like 7 out of 10... they had a time of it.. there were emails regarding the software development timetable and lists of current titles and stages of their development... you name it..
 
I'll give him a call and find out what happened to it..

That's some random pic off the internet with my 53 year old Brothers' face badly photoshopped 🙂

Considering the quality of the game, I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on programming the 8 bit. Like : What were the hurdles you had to overcome? What programs / resources did you use in the development? What did you like and dislike about programming for it? Any future 8 bit projects? Any information you could share would be appreciated by all and a great read for aspiring 8 bit programmers.

I know, right? I evaded that video for a while but eventually watched enough to know the familiar tone.

Thanks for commenting on my ghetto video!

Hi RickR
I'm Andrea Cucchetto, the programmer of the Atari version of Space Taxi 😊
Thank you for your comment... I'm really glad to offer this port to all Atarians!

Or maybe it's just the gigantic fall of Atari from industry leader to nothingness in such a short time.  Instead of taking the bigger picture view of how that happened, it turns into potshots at the last gasps from Atari.  I guess it is an easy target and although it is lazy, it probably brings in the viewers. 
Mattel, Coleco, Commodore, and many others suffered the same fate, but didn't go out punching like Atari did. Therefore, it isn't so easy to kick them so hard. 
 

Something about her tone of voice and pious demeanor reminds me of Kai Winn. I think our Star Trek fans will appreciate what I mean 🖖

I subscribed to your youtube channel and now you're here 🙂 . Thanks for the work you are doing on our beloved STe. I picked up one of those Micro SD card readers from Gossuin. It seems like a cheaper version of the Ultra-satan :), so thanks for keying us on to that gizmo. I must have overseen that when I got my Eiffel3 from him a few months back. I look forward to your progress on this, and will check back here on a regular basis.
