Damnit! Game programming geniuses are getting canned.

Atari is closing it's doors completely.

TheVerbalAssassin · 02-16-2003, 08:35 PM

How could the gaming community honor that dude who worked on tank? There should be some kind of hall of fame, or lifetime achievement award.

Must kill..

Atari...dead..

Dick_Fury · 02-17-2003, 02:17 AM

odd. i thought they died LONG before now.

and i was surprised to see their logo on UT2k3. the way it goes, i guess.

JeanFrancois · 02-17-2003, 02:27 AM

Atari nooooooo!

Yea, I remember their logo from UT2k3 as well, I think.. I need some more Atari shirts..

Pickle_Puss · 02-17-2003, 05:21 AM

its not that surprising - atari has been going downhill for a long time, and they had been all bought up. Just the last official offshoot of Atari is closing. Bound to happen eventually.

Cpl. Reynolds · 02-17-2003, 12:28 PM

A moment of silence, please, for the first of the great game console companies as they pass into night.

Alas, poor Atari. I knew you well.

yeah pitfall was awesome...the grfx on those games look so simple now, but try superbreakout or one of those and see why it's so addictive for such a stupid little game.
