Favorite Atari

[Gamemaster_ca_2003]

I want you to tell me which Atari would you want to be a part of.

[Flack]

I don't think most people will know the difference in all those. Could you give us a little one or two sentence explination about each one?

I want to vote for whichever one released Asteroids.

Ok lets see.

Info-Atari is from the time that Atari was bought up by Infogrames to this moment in time.

Hasbro's Atari was the time between when JTS Sold Atari to hasbro Interative to when they sold it to Infogrames.

JTS's Atari was the time between Atari Corp. Was reversed merged with JTS to the time where they sold atari to Hasbro.

Trammel's Atari was the time betweeen Warrner sold off Atari's Consumer Division to Jack Trammel to when Atari Corp. Was reversed merged with JTS Corp.

The gap between the two was Under James Morrgan was btween the Rseination of Ray Kassar and where atari's Consumer Division was sold to Trammel.

Kassar's Atari was the time between atari being bought by warner to Kassar's Resignation.

Bushnell's atari was the time between Atari's Founding and Atari being sold to warner.

Atari Games was Atari's Coinop division and is the time that Trammel Bought Atari's Consumer division to the closing of Atari Games (as Midway Games West)



I want to vote for whichever one released Asteroids.

That was the atari unt Ray Kassar.

Aside from the Bushnell and Kassar days and Atari Games, I doubt you'll see many votes for the rest of them... most of them didn't exactly do the Atari name any favors. Some Jaguar/Lynx fans might have enjoyed the Tramiel days, but most probably blame the Tramiels for the two systems failures.

Frankly, everything went downhill since Bushnell left. Infogrames is doing some things right (certainly a lot more than JTS or Hasbro did), but they have yet to prove themselves really.
