Wonke umntu, nokuba mncinci, uya kulazi igama lika Atari, inkampani yasentsomini Ngubani owayephila iminyaka yegolide kwihlabathi lemidlalo yevidiyo. Yaba yenye yeenkampani ezizimeleyo zemveliso yevidiyo e-US, ubuvulindlela kwimidlalo yevidiyo ye-arcade. Ubukhosi bonke bezolonwabo lwedijithali olwenziwe ngempumelelo enkulu kunye neziganeko zembali esizaziyo sonke, ezinje nge-Atari 2600 console, ii-8-bit microcomputer ezinje ngeAtari 800XL, zilandelwa luthotho lwe-16-bit njengeAtari ST, eyayisebenzisa iMotorola Iichips ezingama-68k, okanye iAtari Portfolio (iPDA yokuqala iyahambelana nePC XT), njl.
Kwilizwe lesoftware sifumana amagama awaziwayo aphume kule fektri, njengomdlalo wevidiyo iPong, iAsteroids, iPac-man, iDefender, okanye ezinye zezi mini ezifana ne-Unreal Tournament, i-Dragon Ball, uMqhubi, njl. Ewe, abathandi bale nkampani banethamsanqa, kuba Ikhonsoli yeAtari ibuyile, yiAtaribox esele sazi ngaphezulu kwedatha. Kude kube kutshanje, bekukho amarhe kuphela okanye ezinye iindaba ngaye, kodwa ulwazi oluncinci belusaziwa ukuza kuthi ga ngoku. Ngoku, enkosi kweminye imithombo enje ngeVentureBeat, iimfihlo ezingaphezulu zityhilwe malunga nokuba iziko lezolonwabo lala maxesha liya kuba yintoni ...
Kudliwanondlebe lwala maxesha aphakathi, umyili weconsole u-Feargal MacConuladh uqhubele phambili ngeenkcukacha, kwaye ezi zinencindi. Ngokuqinisekileyo uyazibuza ukuba kutheni le ndaba iphakathi malunga neLinux kunye nesoftware yasimahla, ewe, impendulo ilula, izakusebenzisa iLinux njengenkqubo yokusebenza ujongano oluhlaziyiweyo ukulungelelanisa neeTV. Ewe, omnye umatshini weSteam! Kodwa ndiyathemba ukuba le iphumelele ngakumbi kuneyeValve. Ngaphandle koko, izixhobo zekhompyutha ziya kuba zi-top-notch, nge Iichipsi ze-AMD (I-CPU kunye neGPU yesiko) kunye nexabiso eliza kuba phakathi kwe-200 kunye ne-300 yeedola kwimarike. Ndicinga ukuba xa ifika eYurophu iyakuthengiswa phakathi kwe- € 200 kunye ne- € 300 njengoko kuqhele ukwenziwa kolu shishino, kuguqulwe iidola zibeyi- € (into ebuhlungu kubathengi baseYurophu kodwa eli shishini libanga ukuba liyimbuyekezo yokuthumela kwelinye ilizwekazi lakudala. ...).
U-Atari ufuna ukuqokelela imali eyoneleyo yenkxaso mali, eqala iphulo le Ukuphithizela ngeprojekthi yakho kwi-Indiegogo. Kuza kuqala oku kuwa kwaye kwiinyanga ezimbalwa siza kuba nekhonsoli kwintengiso, kuba kubonakala ngathi izakuphuma ngentwasahlobo yonyaka olandelayo. Ukongeza, umbono ayikokukhuphisana kuphela nePS4, iXbox One, iWii, okanye umatshini weSteam, kodwa kukuphinda ubuyise umnqweno kwaye ube nakho ukuqhuba imidlalo yakudala yenkampani ekuyo. Ngale nto bazokwazisa ikhathalogu entsha yeeklasikhi zemidlalo yabathengi, nangona bengafuni ukuzikhawulela kuloo nto, kodwa nokuba iyakwazi ukuhambisa imidlalo yevidiyo yanamhlanje efana neMinecraft okanye iTerraria, phakathi kwabanye. Ke ngoko, iya kuba ngumxube phakathi kwale mihla kunye neyeediliya.
Ijongeka ngathi iyathandeka, ngethemba iya kuphumelela kuba iya kuba lutshintsho olukhulu kumdlalo wevidiyo (njengoko yayinjalo iAtari 2600 ngelo xesha) nakwilizwe leLinux. Ewe banokuyithengisa ngexabiso eliphantsi (umzekelo, i-190/200, umzekelo, iya kuba ilungile).
