Been over a month ago since I wrote about Atari's token sale and how anyone interested (outside of the U.S.) had some more time to get in "on the ground floor" so to say when the token prices were still at $0.08.
I decided to provide some info although a lot of it was lacking and still kind of is, but it seems like nostalgia sells and there's been some great news coming forth from the Atari team recently.
Recent big news came out that they're going to be offering $1m worth of tokens as an IEO on the Bitcoin.com exchange.
The sale will start on October 29th and be offered for $0.25 per token with $1m hard cap. The circulating supply before this public sale will be somewhere around $17.2m for 68.7 million tokens.
Right now they're still being sold on their homepage for $0.16 (ref link inside)
Of course it's not as great as $0.08 when I initially posted about it, but nice to see that some of you got some back then, at least. Hopefully this'll turn out to be a good long term investment that'll get us more Hive. :)
But of course do your own research, this isn't financial advice, etc. You know the risks.
Some more info from Bitcoin.com:
With the upcoming IEO, Atari and Bitcoin.com Exchange will coordinate educational and mass awareness campaigns via AMAs, direct interviews, guides, media casts and all other applicable means or direct, and indirect marketing.
In november they're also planning on releasing their new console for the first time in 20 years:
It'll have internet connectivity, be pretty retro and let you play most of existing Atari games and some remastered ones that I'm assuming will be released. The nostalgia will be strong with this one and I'm looking forward to see how far that alone will take it with exchange listings and price appreciation in the near future along with games using the token, some gambling/casino's they're also going to add to the usecases of it and also some plans for DeFi for game financing.
More info and a list of already existing partnerships can be found here: http://www.atarichain.com/
and if you're interested in still getting some tokens, here's my ref link again (I get about 5 tokens for every 100 you purchase): link
They accept several crypto's and the website also let's you hold them there if you want to wait for a better price of your crypto before getting in. Although bear in mind I don't know when this sale on their website ends.
They're also planning on creating a stablecoin so make sure you don't accidentally by the [ATAR] token. the [ATRI] one is the right one you want to get which may or may not appreciate or hold its value.
Thanks for reading!
Those of you who bought some from the initial post, what are your thoughts on this news? A good move to partner up with Bitcoin.com (i.e. @rogerkver's exchange?)
Let me know in the comments!

Gosh.... I never owned an Atari, and I wanted it so badly!! This is tempting! But I also believe nostalgia wears off really quickly. I have been playing old commodore 64 games and was done with them within minutes. It wears off...
I should get back into the crypto game... wouldn't know how to buy and sell stuff anymore! I feel like I have been living under a rock for a few years.
Anyway... thank you for stopping by! Appreciated!
I wish i was in Sweden. My PacMan would be stronger there.... Glad to hear some good news. Their built-in exchange and wallet made me think they have something to offer and that they weren't just playing games!
Bought some for $0.16 a few weeks ago just because it was ''Atari''. Now it looks like it was a good purchase and not just a sentimental one. Nice!
This definitely looks like fun!! Thanks for sharing!
Great write up. Do you know if from pst IEO’s, it’s possible to deposit in the token in question on Binance as it’s happening? Asking due to the arbitrage opportunity that exists between the current site and Oct 29th
I don't think you'll be able to transfer them yet during the bitcoin.com exchange sale. At least I don't think so.
bought some ATARI tokens with your link. Let's see what happens :)
Good luck to us both. ^^

could be survive the storm, but mr. bushnell is definitely no longer a doer, many projects have failed and were quitted curiously
I tried to buy an ETH worth, but it won't let me. It just says "Our public sale will start on October 29, 2020 on bitcoin.com." when I enter the amount that I want to purchase.
Must've ended, damn. sorry about that.
It brings nostalgia to more than one. Unfortunately, I don't have the funds to gamble at the moment, but I'm sure it's something to talk about.
Well see it being on eth makes any gaming token uselsss when the other day it was 6$ to send 10$ like let's pay $6 to send a .16 token....
I doubt they're going to stay on eth forever considering one of their websites is called atarichain
Ah yeah you are right. Just them starting a coin is a Greta thing 👍

Yay I'm glad I bought some :3
First time really heard about it, interesting how the name came up
This post sounds good news. Even at this current price on Atari's token, was still ok in expectations for its bullish trends.
Curious about this token, mainly because of the retro-element ( even though I never owned a console, I grew up in the 80s ) but I also remember I thought the same about TRON back in the days ( loved the movie TRON ) and we all know what happened with that ... ;<)
