The Panther project is supposely now dead. The Panther was originally going to be a 16-bit hot shot video game system to knock the Super NES and the rest of them out of the water early next year. The problem was the time. By the time Atari released the Panther, the Super NES, Genesis, and Turbo-16 would have most of the market. Even with a little better games, it is the same old story with the Nintendo, Sega Master, and 7800. Atari has decided to leap frog them all and release a 32-bit video game system instead. Some even say Atari will release a 24-bit as well. But the president of Atari Corp.'s Entertainment Division stated that the 32-bit will indeed be a reality early next year. He stated it in one of the video game publications when answering a reader's letter. I wonder what the price would be on that... P.S. - if someone could inform AtariUser of this, it would be appreciated! They should really call the Atari Entertainment Division to make sure but I believe these are facts. Len Stys --
