Room 34 Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 No way... it's still Infogrames, just without the dumbass name. Infogrames. Our games are as lame as our name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 Infogrames suxxors. I still curse them for hijacking the Atari name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 Infogrames has made some bad label Atari games, and some good label Atari games. You could do much worse than titles like Stuntman and Godzilla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindfield Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 Not to mention Neverwinter Nights. Splashdown was okay, too. I dunno. I don't think they're doing any better or worse with the Atari name than they did with Infogrames -- they're just using the Atari recognition to help sell their games. Oh. And they gave the Fuji a bellbottom. Those bastards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 I consider them the "real" Atari. After all, Atari has changed hands so many times through the years that anything after Bushnell sold it could theoretically be considered bunk. I prefer to be optimistic in this... besides, it's nice to see Atari written on new games for a change. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyranthraxus Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 Yeah its Atari, they are the legitmate owners of the name. I'd like to see some new Atari brand arcade games. I strongly associate arcade games with Atari, home games less so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCmodeler Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 So far Infogrames has a better track record than the "real" Atari from 1977-84. Face it, Atari put out a lot of crap during that time period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjk7382 Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 Hey, they made Civilization III, You HAVE to give them credit for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Eidolon Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 Huh? Is Civ3 good? I've gone through my addiction phase for Civilization 1, 2 and Alpha Centauri, but Civilization 3 doesn't seem to have "it." What am I missing? --The Eidolon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raijin Z Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 Infogrames Foxxed Bid for Power so they could continue to release their shitty DBZ games, and people wouldn't have something GOOD to compare them to. Bah! Fuck those bastards. With a broken whiskey bottle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyranthraxus Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 I thought Civ3 was great when I had it I was hooked. It really is a revision of Civ2, some rule tweaks and improved graphics. It shares a lot of the flaws of the other two. The biggest one for me is how boring the end game gets. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 They are the real atari, but I couldn't work for them I know nothing of programming and enough about atari I'd probably just piss people off LOL. I do hope this is a good thing for atari, maybe they'll stick around for awhile this time instead of trading hands a few dozen more times. As for them making new games, didn't Hasbro sell off most of Atari's properties instead of using them? Infogrames may not be able to do the old atari games anymore.

BassGuitari Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 We rescue the French in two world wars...and now they come and take the Atari name to mask a two-bit company that makes shoddy games? I'll never forgive them for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariDude Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 Do you guys think Atari is back? If you could get a job there would you? explain... If I could get myself a job there, I would. It would be nice to be part of Atari even if it is a pale imitation of the original. I could say to people that I worked at Atari at one point in my life. I hope that they do well. My greatest dread is that they will do too well and then Microsoft buys them out. At that point, I think Atari would be dead for all time.

VidGameKing Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 I happen to like the new atari. I own UT03, and UnrealII and Temple of elemental evil. they are awsome games!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VidGameKing Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 Microsoft could and would buy out Atari. the question is... would Atari want to sell to Microsoft? more over would Microsoft ever do anything with Atari? maybe it could be a good thing, maybe if Microsotf bought atari we would get better games built into windows!!!!

Microsoft needs to buy out AOL and die. Other than that, there are no benefits to them buying out anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintendo Penguin Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 There is a division of Atari/Inforgrames hiring in Newport Beach, CA. There were hiring testers a little while back... I did not apply.. 1. I was employed by Atlus 2. I hate inforgromes. Damn French. Truthfully... I have not forgiven them for disposing of Accolade, whom I loved.
