If some company really marketed the name again it could perhaps become big again. Though since the same happened to Commodore and many other names from the past I doubt it will end in a good way.

you are right....
it´s a shame really, for me at least, cause I have the name ATARI linked to my first console and computer hardware, 23 years ago...
...and nolstagic sentiments have no place in business, for a name that is long lost.

Atari still makes some good games guys.
Anyone who actually played this one game that I cant remember its name right now, but it was where you were somehow setup for a murder in New York City and you were 0on the run from the cops. It was a really cool game till you got almost through the end of the game then it got really weird.
Plus Alone in the Dark is looking to be mighty interesting thats one game that I cant wait to actually start playing guys.
Also it looks like KTR has been listening to Jeff Dunham lol
