The Atari Panther was a 16-bit console that was due to be released in 1991 - but was cancelled right at the last minute, even after prototype dev consoles had been sent out to developers.

In this video I check out an OTIS sound module, based on the Ensoniq sound chip of the same name, ponder what could've been, and reach out for help on tracking down some more information for a full documentary style video.
