Inforgrames Invigorated
Inforgrames is coming back. Originally a French games publisher, Infogrames was a name that you probably heard of at some point if you were playing games in the 90s. Infogrames, after acquiring numerous other publishers and developers, eventually disappeared in name, transitioning to Atari after buying the company in 2001. Fastforward to the present and Atari CEO Wade Rosen has embraced the history around Atari, reviving old franchises and releasing compilations. Now Infogrames is up for a return, with Mr. Rosen saying:
It looks to be that Infogrames will act as a ranch of Atari, focusing on publishing games that are not part of the Atari catalogue; effectively giving Atari a way of both publishing their older games that aren’t associated with Atari and protecting their most important brand.
Playing videogames, writing about videogames, considering videogames—that about sums it up. Videogames are the one hobby that I’ve kept since I was only little, zapping ducks on the NES or knocking out MR. X. And when I’m not enjoying classics from the bit generation of games or checking out those earliest of polygons, I’m probably playing something from today’s age of modern gaming: if I’m not complaining about it. Something I’m doing at the moment? Returning to the many Final Fantasy games on the Switch to complete a couple more.
