How many of you knew about Night Rider’s older brother? No one? Not surprising.
Apparently he was a trucker with an eye for the ladies. Oh, and he’s on the run from a bear. A bear that’s also a state trooper.

Trump: "They had restrictions on water. It comes down from heaven. You want to wash your hands, or like me, you wash your hair. I lather up. There's no water. I won't mention the 3rd item in the bc I always get criticized. If you don't know what I'm talking about you shouldn't be owning a McDonalds"

The newer VCS is great. I own one and love it for what it is. Obviously Atari is winding it down, which makes sense.
But why throw the baby out with the bath water? Atari OS has value and could port to a future +-series console to give it more depth.
