Tramiel Redirect During Atari Vs. Nintendo On March 11, 1992

From The Ahl Collection

About ] [ Documentation List ]




Here are some more transcript pages of (Sam) Tramiel Redirect During Atari Vs. Nintendo On March 11, 1992

The previous day's testimony can be found here: Atari Vs. Nintendo March 10, 1992 Tramiel Cross.

These transcripts are stapled together a few pages at a time. I think these are just transcripts where David Ahl is mentioned.

Some interesting facts stated:
"... in 1990 I think we [Atari] sold about 60,000 [Lynx] systems in the US. In 1991 it's 120,000 [Lynx] systems."
"I think that Atari Corp. paid $1 million to Epyx to acquire the hardware rights to the Lynx."
"... approximately how may subscribers you [Atari] had to that magazine [Atarian]?" "I think it was either 1500 or 1800 subscribers..."

Nintendo Power magazine had more than one million subscribers by 1989 when Atari decided to publish Atarian magazine: Nintendo Power Reaches Million Subscribers Mark.
