Witchfynde Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 If it wasn't on Yahoo news, the whole thing would sound like a really late April Fool's joke to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a fantastic game, IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydian Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 Sounds like a case of different parties having different pieces of the puzzle to me. That said, if Infogrames did own the copywrite, wouldn't the 1982 Infogrames technically be correct? 1982 is the year of the copywrite and Infogrames is the holder of the copywrite. Atari (until the recent news of the name change) doesn't exist as an entity anymore, correct? Those games are being done pro. I've seen a ton of Ms Pacman/Galaga machines out there too (since Midway owns the arcade stuff it seems pertinant.) If Midway doesn't own the rights to the Atari trademark (and it seems that they don't) then it can't be slapped onto the machine anyway without Infograme's permission. Just my uninformed thoughts.
