Atari was Infogrames. Like, Infogrames bought Atari and immediately dissolved real Atari and changed its own name. I don’t understand why they would do this?
For something like shampoo having a company own multiple brands lets them dominate more real estate on the supermarket shelf.

Atari itself is already an old brand that was bought up and slapped on a new company in this manner.
JDG’s career is safe and sound until his death, happy for the team!
Hopefully more on the nightdive side of retro refurbs
They published Test drive 6 in the states. That’s my fondest memory of them.
