funny Bring any company back from the dead thread....

[remixedcat]

You have one company to bring back from the dead....

 

...what one would you bring back to life?

 

Inspired by the revival of the old ghettoblaster boombox manufacturer named Aiwa,,,

[max22]

I would bring back 3dfx because they made awesome video cards!

[TruckWEB]

Cyrix, to have another player in the CPU business...

 

Since AMD dropped the ball (on performance CPU), we are left with only Intel as the leader.

I'd throw another support vote for aiwa, I miss those old stereos I used to have

I agree.

 

I never got a chance to buy the card back then and stupid store employe told me to buy a nvidia TNT card,

 

too bad I couldnt have bought both

 

I want to go back in time and smack him.

I'd undo Tonka's acquisition by Hasbro, so we can get GoBots again, rather than having the rare homage in Transformers . . .

 

You never said it has to be technology-oriented . . .

A lot of those employees went over to Nvidia when they bought them. The Nvidia Geforce 5800 Ultra was the first cards that had involvement from the 3DFX team. It was a very very loud card.. They soon made a video making fun of their own video card.. lol It was hard to get and was only available if you had pre-ordered it because at the last minute, they canceled the card, but a handful of people got it.. 

With that said, I wish 3DFX never go bought out, even though I'm an Nvidia fan boy.. I really loved 3DFX and it seems like they were always coming up with crazy ideas and pushing towards the next step.. Definitely the leader in Video Cards.. To bad we never got to see the Voodoo 5 6000..

So that's another Hasbro acquisition that might be good to undo! Although Star Wars does still get its own toyline at least. And I think Hasbro does have access to the original molds.

I want to play the Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines that never happened thanks to Valve's, Troika's, and Activision's mess of a development process.

I was just gonna say Commodore too! Because the C64 & Amiga were the greatest machines of their day (the Amiga was generations ahead).
