Atari Looks Back In Acquisition
It looks like Atari is looking back on a bygone age and asking ‘why can’t I go back there?’ Atari might not be able to go back in time, but they seem to have a clear strategy for bringing some of the classics from – back then – to – right now – with their most recent purchases.
Stage-Select already wrote about how Atari purchased remaster maestros Nightdive Studios, and now they’ve acquired a large number of older console and PC games.
Amongst these new acquisitions are a number of titles that Atari used to own, sold off when the original Atari ceased to exist after bankruptcy and transmogrified into Infogrames — which itself went bankrupt and then sold off many of these intellectual properties. Not only has Atari gotten their hands on games they used to own though; Accolade is perhaps the most well known of the acquisitions in this deal, and that includes the famous (famous for his infamy) Bubsy Bobcat.
