   Hi,   
      
   ATARI is 40 today, 2012 june, 27 !   
   "   
   In 1971, Bushnell and partner Ted Dabney managed to turn Spacewar! into   
   the first mass-produced video arcade game, Computer Space. It wasn’t   
   particularly successful. Undeterred, they continued their partnership,   
   Syzygy, by founding Atari, Inc.. (Another company, it turned out, had   
   first dibs on “Syzygy.”) They filed the incorporation papers on June   
   27, 1972, occupied 1,700 square feet of office space in Santa Clara,   
   California, in the heart of Silicon Valley, and got ready to release a   
   game they called Pong. The rest is videogame history.
