We all pass, that is the natural way of things. But atari is so irrelevant. You should really admit you were wrong to compare them to Nintendo. Sheesh! I just don't think you can admit it.

Again, if you think this thread is about Atair, you completely miss the point.  The thread is FAR more about people who think their company of choice will be around forever.  I named Activision and Nintendo in the original post, as two examples, because people were going "No No No!" that neither one is vulnerable.  By seeing only Nintendo here, you are showing Nintendo as your company of choice.

Point is Atari at one time was NO irrelevant and was synonymous with videogames, as was seen in Blade Runner.  I grew up in that era and remember it.

I'm sorry your favorite company went the way of the do-do. But there's no reason to project it onto others.
