http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_Drivin%27 I semi enjoyed it but it had terrible controls which made the game more difficult than it should have. Atari did decent for awhile but they barely had any IPs to themselves and mainly relied on 3rd party companies. |
I thought the Sega Genesis Ghostbusters game was actually decent. Is that the same one you are thinking of?
When the arcades went down, Atari began to seriously fade from the marketplace. When you lose a console, you increasingly become irrelevant. Sega is in that boat now, nowhere near what they were when they had a console. I believe Nintendo would likewise be similar if they ended up not having a console. Mario would go the way of Sonic without Nintendo having its own console to showcase Mario and others. Metroid would get lost, as would Zelda. People just wouldn't care as much at all. I believe this is a reason why you Nintendo argues against going third-party.
