tearex Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 I think he's just trying to keep fresh in all of our minds what a STUPID name "Infogrames" is/was for a company. Weren't they originally a French company? Maybe the name is some play on words in French? Or am I mixing things up with some other company?

tearex Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 The name could be derived from "Informatique" (Computer science) and "Programmes" (Programs). I think in French the pronounciation wouldn't change, no matter if there are 1 or 2 "m"s. It would be "ã-faw-GRAHM" more or less. (The final "es" is silent.)

Video Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 Pitfall was 3D back in the day. See? The land you walked on wasn't depicted by a single line (like Mario Bros) But as two lines, one below your characture, and one behind him. See? 3-D LOL Kidding (actually as a kid, I thought it was cool looking) I have little Ill will towards Infograms, and I love Atari, but why the hell wold a company dismiss it's own history? Even if it was bought by someone else? The only thing I didn't like about Infogrames is that it seems, compared to other games, that while their titles are fun, they have many cut corners and and air half assedness about them.
