leolinden Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 I cheked their website and found that they updates the site, I sent an email and got this back. " Good afternoon Leo, Thank you for your recently enquiry into Atari Games. Although our name suggests we are all about games, we have decided to expand our horizons to not only developing games, but also developing a number of apps which are productivity based and serve a wider audience. We will of course be introducing a number of games under our name, these will be mobile games and not console based so watch this space! Apologies if there is any confusion, we have simply chosen to spend more time on game development which means the simpler, meditation apps were introduced first to market. In short, we will as our name suggests be creating games, but for now we are rolling out a series of other apps to communicate with a sector of the app market which we felt had previously been overlooked. Hope this helps. Kind Regards, Samantha PR Associate samantha@atarigames.co.uk " I sent them a reply about coming on a wednesday chat to talk about the future. Maybe this isn't a bad thing. It could go either way from here. Retro obsessed dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leolinden Posted August 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 This is a different Atari. I dont know what this is. Someone needs to get the name like these people did and bring Atari to what it was. Retro obsessed dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowsdower70 Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 The ACTUAL Atari is still making games....kinda. They are ravaging their old properties and making horrible games based on them. For example, Haunted House was turned into a first person horror game on PC, and its buggy and terrible. They were also developing an Asteroids (not sure if its done) which had little or nothing to do with the original property. Jim Sterling did a nice piece on this recently. I'd post it, but the language is quite NSFW.

nosweargamer Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 I believe at one point the new asteroids was suppose to be a mmo game.

leolinden Posted August 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Got a reply: Hi Leo, As much of our work is in development and may take some time to bring to market, there isn’t much to speak of as of yet. If it pleases you, we promise you a sneak peak of things to come once we are closer to completion. We will gladly take part in your “chat thing” when we ready to launch. Again, thanks for your interest. I asked them to come to the chat some night. They said they will when they launch. Retro obsessed dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
