If you, like me, had an incredible childhood and could enjoy hours and hours playing Pac-Man, Galaxian, Megamania, Space Invaders etc ... Certainly you know what I'm saying, the Atari console was my first one that I played for a good time and researching these games made me remember my childhood days.

After 20 years and declaring bankruptcy in 2013, Atari "emerges from the ashes" and arrives with a new console, the Atari VCS that will be launched later this year, more precisely in November. The pre-sale phase ended and prices varied by $ 249 for the model with 4 GB of RAM and $ 399 for the 8 GB.

With a new classic joystick design and now comes with a new, more modern controller, the company hopes to attract the most nostalgic players and some games like Missile Command: Recharged will be reinvented to cause the best possible satisfaction for anyone.

In addition to the new console, a very promising project that will be integrated with the video game is the creation of its own cryptocurrency called Token Atari. The idea is very interesting, players will be able to use the token to use in-game purchases. VCS intends to have its own store and there it will be possible to buy all games developed to run on the platform.

We know that the gaming industry has been exploring blockchain technology a lot and Atari has found an alternative so that he could regain his fame and glory from long ago. According to Frederic Chesnais, CEO of Atari:

"Blockcahin technology is poised to take on a very important place in our environment and to transform, if not revolutionize, the current economic ecosystem, especially in the areas of the video game industry and online transactions".

The ETH platform was chosen for the Atari VCS to be integrated with the company's ERC-20 token. Another objective is to make the token a means of payment in the interactive entertainment industry.

The public sale of the token will start on October 29 at Bitcoin.com and the price has not been disclosed so far, but in the private rounds the values ​​were $ 0.08 and $ 0.16. It will probably be almost in that range. What remains is to wait.

I have no doubt that many players will join Atari mainly the fact that now they will be able to have an integrated token with possibilities of being able to buy anything on the platform and will still be able to profit from the sale of the token. Who knows, we may see companies in the industry with Xbox and PlayStation following Atari's footsteps in the future? Well, maybe this is just a matter of time.

Versão em português


Se você assim como eu teve uma infância incrível e pôde se divertir horas e horas jogando Pac-Man, Galaxian, Megamania, Space Invaders etc... Certamente sabe do que estou dizendo, o console Atari foi o meu primeiro que joguei por um bom tempo e pesquisar sobre esses jogos me fez relembrar meus tempos de criança.

Depois de 20 anos e de declarar falência em 2013, Atari "resurge das cinzas" e chega trazendo um novo console, o Atari VCS que será lançado ainda este ano, mais precisamente em novembro. A fase de pré-venda terminou e os preços variaram em US$ 249 para o modelo com 4 GB de memória RAM e US$ 399 para o de 8 GB.

Com um novo design de joystick clássico e agora vem com um novo controle mais moderno, a empresa espera atrair os mais nostálgicos jogadores e alguns jogos como o Missile Command: Recharged serão reinventados para causar a melhor satisfação possível para qualquer um.

Além do novo console, um projeto bastante promissor que será integrado junto com o video game é a criação de sua criptomoeda própria chamada Token Atari. A ideia é bem interessante, os jogadores poderão utilizar o token para usar em compras dentro do jogo. O VCS pretende ter a sua própria loja e por lá será possível comprar todos os jogos desenvolvidos para rodar na plataforma.

Sabemos que a indústria de jogos têm explorado bastante a tecnologia blockchain e Atari encontrou uma alternativa para que pudesse recuperar a sua fama e glória de tempos atrás. De acordo com Frederic Chesnais, CEO da Atari:

“A tecnologia blockcahin está preparada para assumir um lugar muito importante em nosso ambiente e para transformar, se não revolucionar, o atual ecossistema econômico , especialmente nas áreas da indústria de vídeo game e transações online".

A plataforma ETH foi a escolhida para que o Atari VCS seja integrado com o token ERC-20 da empresa. Outro objetivo é fazer com que o token seja um meio de pagamento na indústria do entretenimento interativo.

A venda pública do token será a partir do dia 29 de outubro no Bitcoin.com e o preço não foi divulgado até agora, mas nas rodadas privadas os valores foram de US$ 0,08 e US$ 0,16. Provalvelmente será quase nessa faixa. O que resta é aguardar.

Não tenho dúvidas de que muitos jogadores irão aderir ao Atari principalmente o fato de que agora poderá ter um token integrado com possibilidades de além poder comprar qualquer coisa na plataforma ainda poderá lucrar com a venda do token. Quem sabe poderemos ver empresas do ramo com Xbox e PlayStation seguindo os passos do Atari no futuro? Bem, talvez isso seja apenas questão de tempo.

Now the trick is to allow players to earn the token. Otherwise it will be like Zynga and their little Bitcoin experiment. Which by the way missed an opportunity. :)

really interested in this but the way i see it is we need bitcoin integrated into games so we can gamble with it in smart contracts. Winner takes the booty. This IS THE FUTURE OF GAMING. IT WILL BE MASSIVE. HUGEEEE. Its already fun playing COD and battle grounds as it is. Throw money into the equation and you have just changed the face of the planet. Full time professional players same as poker players. Professional gamers is already a thing but when every kid person man women can sit at home and play for winner keeps all, now that will be bigger than anything we have ever seen.

Undoubtedly the gaming industry already feels the impact of this change with the implementation of blockchain technology. Everything you said we will certainly have and it will only be a matter of time.

I believe that this new concept will be the future and with a lot of smart contracts we will benefit in several ways.
