You are not going to believe this....

The kids I sit with at my lunch table somehow got to the thinking that Atari turned into Sega in the late 80's. What the h--- are they thinking? Please find me some sites that I can print out to prove them wrong (like the history of Sega and the history of Atari)

they aren't too bright..

at least they didn't think a 2600 was the new nintendo system. or that megaman was owned by marvel comics.

first, give them a swift kick in the nuts.

second, visit THIS SITE: The Atari Reference Library.. pleanty of atari related articles there, bound to find something good.

 

Im not sure about Sega Histories, other than what I know of them.. if you cant find any links i can write you up a rough outline of sega

[Lemmi]

The best site (in my opinion) regarding the history of atari is located at:

http://www.atari-history.com

 

This is the site of the Atari Historical Society.

 

As for Sega, I would have to refer to the following site:

http://www.planetdreamcast.com/about/sega/

 

I hope that helps.

Atari into Sega???Lol, comon.Atari (from what i know)is owned by imfograms.Sega didn't make consuls in the 80's(I dont think so anyway).

[Lemmi]

atari is now owned by infrogames

 

and sega made the Sega master system for the US in the mid 80's

[Atari Master]

Ohh, ok, atleast i was right about the first part.

They definatley need to be smacked. Service Games America was a company that brought slot machines and other entertainment machines to soldiers during the Korean War. They later shortened their name to Sega. Sega was a player in the entertainment industry before people even knew the name Atari.

Why do you keep digging up threads from 2001 ?

Oh wow, this is old. But then, two years is a long time to a sixteen year old... Anywho, those fellas I sat with at my lunch people then I havent talked to since around that time. And it wasnt because of Sega and Atari

If terminal stupidity isn't a good reason, then I don't know what is...
