They published Test drive 6 in the states. That’s my fondest memory of them.

Kyoyeou,

JDG’s career is safe and sound until his death, happy for the team!

NigelFrobisher,

Atari itself is already an old brand that was bought up and slapped on a new company in this manner.

Hopefully more on the nightdive side of retro refurbs

aeronmelon,

TIL the logo is an armadillo.

MossyFeathers,

Today I learned as well. I like the bottom left logo the most.

It looks like the armadillo the moment it gets ripped open by a car on the highway

MossyFeathers,

That’s not why I like it, but sure.

tigeruppercut,

That’s the only one I knew-- I’m not sure if I’ve played anything from them since Alone in the Dark, where the intro has the logo turn into the polyvector model

RightHandOfIkaros,

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?

Kyrgizion,

Besides finacial reasons, brand names have worth. Infogrames had a decent reputation so ostensibly, it still does. That instills trust in consumers, or at least that’s the theory.

For something like shampoo having a company own multiple brands lets them dominate more real estate on the supermarket shelf.

For video game publishers I’m not sure that makes as much sense.

That said its hardly the craziest thing they’ve done
