It will also loan Atari $20 million to keep its operations going until the deal is complete.Atari dominated the video game

ATARI La Atari 2600 fue lanzada al mercado en octubre de 1977 bajo el nombre de Atari VCS, convirtiéndose en la primera[1] consola de videojuegos exitosa en usar cartuchos intercambiables. En 1982 y luego del lanzamiento de la Atari 5200, adopta su nombre final basado en el número de catálogo que la identificaba (CX2600). Esta consola fue ampliamente exitosa y logró que durante los años 1980s "Atari" fuese sinónimo de videojuegos. La Atari 2600 se vendía acompañada con dos joysticks, un par de controladores tipo paddle y un cartucho de juego. El nombre original, Atari VCS, viene de Video Computer System --Sistema Informático de Vídeo--. El nombre Atari 2600 se utilizó por primera vez en 1982, cuando salió al mercado la Atari 5200.

Atari Asks for Extension on Infogrames Buyout Offer Atari has informed its parent company, Infogrames, that it will not be able to respond the buyout offer made last week by the appointed deadline. Infogrames is the majority shareholder in Atari; its proposal offered to purchase the remaining stock for $1.68 a share. At the time of the offer, Atari announced that would be assembling a special committee to evaluate the offer. Atari has since hired Duff & Phelps LLC to help them sort through the financial pros and cons of accepting Infogrames' proposal, and is seeking an extension of the original deadline. Can there honestly be that much to discuss? Atari doesn't exactly have a lot of options at this point.See Also: Infogrames Offers to Buy Atari It's Of
Infogrames to buy Atari publicly held stock?The already parent company of Atari made an offer to buy all publicly held stock for the price of $1.68 per stock. This move would ensure that financial-troubled Atari wouldn't get delisted from NASDAQ, as it has been threatened on many occasions and, it would allow Infogrames to make decisions and implement them in the company much more easily. Although this seems as a break for the Alone in the Dark publisher, it's not yet a done deal, “The offer is non-binding and there is no assurance that any transaction will occur,” Atari said. It would be nice to know Atari wouldn't have to accept being acquired or declare bankruptcy, they've been in the industry for far too long. Link - Comments - Spooky - Fri,

The Atari 7800 was compatible with all Atari 2600 games (making it a valuable collector's item) but it was plagued by a 2 year delay and a complete lack of titles due to many developers exclusive contracts with Nintendo.

It's big mistake was that it was not backwards compatible with the successful Atari 2600 (this was later resolved albeit too late). Of course there was another big mistake: the joystick sucked - it broke and wore easily and didn't auto-center making games like pac-man miserable. Atari didn't really support the 5200 either, instead continuing to focus on the 2600. Then the Video Game Crash hit...which pretty much killed the 5200. There were 125 games released for the 5200 and they were of good quality garnering a cult following for the 5200. However the 5200, remains one of the first misteps of many by Atari.
You can play asteroids above for yourself. The above is a pretty spot-on translation of the 80s Arcade classic. It seems even more appropriate to review Asteroids since it was just released to Xbox Live Arcade. Asteroids was surely one of the best games for the Atari 2600. The game gave you more control over your ship (compared to space invaders) and while it was only black and white, it featured smooth animations/rotations for the time. The most important thing was that the gameplay was simple yet extremely challenging. As an arcade game this puppy just ate your quarters up and it is still worthy of a couple minutes here and there. Does Asteroids stand the test of time? Not really. The gameplay is too simplistic compared to even NES or Master System games, and while it still controls/plays well, it is clearly an arcade game with limited appeal. Graphics & Sound are pathetic and poor for even 2d games, so while in its day it was king, Asteroids is a little too ret
