              THE BALDKITTY REPORT #1
SuperSnoop's associate, BaldKitty, submits..
Report for 3/12/98. . .
        THE PRESS HAS PART OF THE STORY...
                         
Although there is much speculation in the press about the motives of
Hasbro in going after Atari, all of them (thus far) are not accurate.
Much has been made over the retro market. And, in all honesty, the
market does look good. However, to simply expect Hasbro to only remake
the retro-atari titles for the likes of the PSX and PC is quite
laughable.
There is a console out there. There are 2 consoles out there. I'm
quite sure you all have 1 in particular, in mind. Well, fear not,
Atarians...Why not ask VM Labs about Hasbro. I think the 2 companies
know each other well. Secondly, there is a in house job that also
looks very impressive.  Spec sheet includes: 8 MB Ram 8 MB Rom 1.0 GB
HD 4 MB Video RAM 3 D Hardware Motorola CPU Programming to make the
PSX look more like a Ph.D. The system easily outpaces the PSX and the
N64. Internal documents don't show the same for X (meaning, X is more
powerful than the in house cat.) Which of these will see the light? If
the mags are right, neither...if I am right, 1 of them most definitely
will. I'm willing to bet on which one, as well.
ATARI IS LITTLE MORE THAN PAPER.
"Atari" as a company no longer exists. Any products you see with the
Atari name will only be of the Atari name.
$5 MILLION COST SEEN AS "A STEAL"
Company officials with Hasbro still find it hard to believe they got
Atari lock, stock and barrel for the price they did. SEC Investigators
do as well.  Who's to blame...well, we'll just have to see on the
ultimate scapegoat, won't we.
I am the baldkitty...

... Uh-oh. This isn't good. I've seen good before, and this isn't it.
