After the Crash of '84, War...A quick heads-up. After the Crash of '84, Warner Bros sold Atari in pieces. The home consumer division (the computers and consoles) were bought by Jack Tramiel, who had been famously ousted from Commodore. That became Atari Corp.<br /><br />The coin-op divison, which seemed to include all the key personnel from the old Atari Inc, was renamed Atari Games. Warner held onto Atari Games at first, then sold to Namco. The employees later bought out Namco's share in the company.<br /><br />It's fortunate for the Lynx that a good working relationship between the two Ataris existed. The Atari Games ports were some of the strongest titles on the handheld (second only to Epyx's original games). It also helps that Atari Games was just on fire in the late '80s and early '90s.Daniel Thomas MacInneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01406180871529775448noreply@blogger.com
