To those born into the console era, whose formative gaming education came from Nintendo, Sega, or PlayStation, Atari feels like an amorphous presence in the world of videogames: a once-important name that has been diluted by countless mergers, acquisitions and bankruptcies. A titan of the arcade era whose relevance had dwindled almost to nothingness by the turn of the millenium.
Many younger gamers have little idea of the extent to which this one company laid the foundation of the modern video game industry, beyond recognizing the name, and perhaps knowing that the Atari 2600 was an early home console. But the truth is that the modern video game industry owes almost everything to Atari and its two founders.
