No, I don't even know what Atari is other than some console brand that existed in the pre-Nintendo era.
To be quite honest I didn't even know they still existed until recently.

I don't think they're that obscure I remember when I was 10 I really wanted an Atari 2600. That was in 2008, yet I still haven't got one yet.

Well I barely know them, I've seen like pictures of their old consoles and some old history gaming videos were they are mentioned. I defintely didn't know about them when I was 10 though which would of been in 2010, I only found out about them through youtube, I mean I probably wasn't the most hardcore gamer at that age. I mean I barely would of even knew very much about even past Nintendo consoles at that stage in my life. But yeah other than the video game crash, I don't know much esspecially compared to my knowledge of Nintendo, Sega, Xbox and Playstation and I don't have any attachment what so ever to them.
Like nowadays unless someone goes out of their way or is super in the gaming fanbase the most they'll know about Atari is from what they hear in the odd video or article here and there.
Although it should be noted i live in the UK were Atari didn't have nearly much as presence like it did in the US.
