   Please note what I said.   
      
   Atari is *not* still around. It went bankrupt and its various assets   
   (mostly IP for home computer games) were sold off to Hasbro, which was   
   then bought by Infogrames. The current thing using the Atari name has   
   nothing to do with the real company, and is just a badge that is   
   sometimes slapped on a game.
