Atari has been little more than a brand name and an IP catalogue since the late 90's. They and Hasbro Interactive sued a bunch of shareware developers in 2000 before releasing a slew of truly awful Windows "reboots" of Asteroids, etc.

The scary part is that copyright law is not yet decided on the "look-and-feel" infringement issue, yet Atari/Infogrames seems to be getting their way without touching the courts. This is a chilling trend and has definite parallels with SOPA.
