Game critic Cyril Lachel responds to Atari, who has been using his name to attack Jeff Minter and TxK.
The Quit or Continue regulars discuss what’s NX for Nintendo and why Jeff Minter is all TxK’d off with Atari.
Also find out why we're not getting all that excited at the prospect of Nintendo games for mobile phones just yet and why the death of PlayStation Mobile sets a bad precedent for our digital rights.
Tempest 2000 designer Jeff Minter wants to release his latest tube-centric shooter, TxK, on a bunch of platforms, but the longtime designer is saying Atari won't let him do that. Let's just say Minter doesn't have many kind things to say about his former employer.
Jeff Minter is seething at the irony of having Tempest 2000, a game he also made, be used against him in this case.
Jeff's still tweeting about this. Apparently Atari didn't even renew their trademark for Tempest 2000. They're C&Ding him for a game he made, and they don't even have the trademark for. Complete scumbags.
After the horrific DRM fiasco they pulled with Riddick:AODA, Atari really are stuck in the 80s... so I'm not surprised by anything they do anymore.
The big question is why does the dead body called Atari still moving this day and age.
