Report: Atari finished in Europe, Namco taking over

So does this mean no DSWii60 Ghostbusters in Europe ever, or what?

Wow, all the companies that buy the Atari name die after a couple years no matter how successful they used to be.

Must be some apache curse for destroying the land with unsold E.T. cartridges.

So where does Phil Harrison go?

I wonder if all those who slagged off Sony for the Ghostbusters episode will now retract their statements.

Nope, I thought not either.

Google "atari and davenport lyons".... couldnt have happened to a better company! Revenge is sweet atari.

'I can't remember a decent game where the Atari logo appeared.'

Fahrenheit was published by Atari. The first 2/3s of that game was enjoyable enough. They also published Driver 3, which was actually rather good.

I haven't played anything from them this generation, though.

Infogrames is entertainment!

Maybe if they actually put out that Portable Flashback that would have helped them.

Atari is an old company in this industry, very old, with roots still stretching across continents. It's a company that has changed hands many times, but continues to live on by virtue of its own spirit.

They were in the home console market before there really even was one, and, despite the failures of the Lynx and Jaguar systems, I honestly don't think they have anything to worry about.

Doom and gloom articles have been written about Atari and similar software/hardware establishments since the 80's. Mark my words... they'll be here in 30 more years from now. There's just too many legendary games that carry the Atari logo... they are like a Sega, Nintendo, or Capcom...

So what happened to the Phil Harrison-led rebirth?!
I thought it was all going so well and that they were showing fine form again.

Oh well. Worst career move ever Phil.
