It's gone through quite a few owners. After Warner Bros bought it from Nolan Bushnell, they sold it to Commodore founder Jack Tramiel (on $240 million in promissory notes and many loans from Warner to keep Atari afloat and$50 cash (yes, FIFTY BUCKS) from Tramiel. They basically paid HIM to take the company!). After he couldn't beat Nintendo, he then traded it to a disk drive company (JTG, I believe but I may be off a letter) in exchange for stock and a seat on their board). They in turn sold it to Hasbro for 5 million and then Hasbro got taken over by Infogrames who then took the Atari name for the company.
Frankie Sullivan's been down since he lost in court over the name Survivor vs. the tv show.
Not really the same Atari ats it was in the 80's

If I have a photographic memory, am I therefore banned from the place because I'll remember things exactly and can sketch them later on?
