This makes me wonder in two things:

1st.- From where cames "ATARI" word?

2nd.- Who and why the use of the Japanese Mount Fuji symbol?

 

 

INDIA/PAKISTAN and JAPAN MOUNT FUJI

 

 

Greetings.

The name cames from this city, why Nolan choose it, I don't know.

Here's the the proof:

(that always sobre-lotated train from India)

This are exactly the "ATARI" Letters.

I always thought Atari came from the game "Go" where Atari is the equivalent of "Check" in chess...

From AtariAge Atari 2600 FAQ:

Q: What does the Atari symbol represent?

A: The Atari symbol was designed by George Opperman in 1972. Pong was very big then, and the big letter A represented two opposing video game players with the center of the Pong court in the middle.

 

Q: What does the word "atari" mean?

A: The word atari comes from the game of Go, perhaps the world oldest board game. Several early 80's magazine references define atari as "you are about to be engulfed," but the rec.games.go FAQ denotes that word in this way: atari : A group of stones is in atari if it has only one liberty left.

Yeah you're right...

I was only kidding... this thread was only to show that a real ATARI City exits somewhere (Pakistan District of Punjab, not India).

 

Strange is the identical ""ATARI" letter on the Train. Are they Atari Computer an Viddeo Game Fans ?

 

 

 

But, "for the memory" just some Geography/History:

I was there in 84 before the 2600 block of the city went to hell. Are the Police there the Atari Force?

[ComputerSpaceFan]

I assume the people in Atari City pray at Atari Church?

(And for the record I am not religious and do not intend to stir up a religion discussion here, I'm just having some fun so let's all chuckle)

 

[Shawn Jefferson]

Well, for some Atari is a religion!

[LYNXGUY]

I remember watching Jeopardy and the word ATARI is Japanese meaning "I got you" and the Atari symbol is an "A"

 

I will do some research later today.

Yep! Those bastards gave me a ticket for going 64 in a 32 zone, while I was driving my Jaguar around town back in like '94.
