This is a headline you might have expected in the 1980s instead of 2024 but today’s Atari and Intellivison aren’t the same two companies that were bitter rivals in what many consider the first video game or console wars. They’re a few incarnations removed from that, not to mention several generations of consoles ago. In any case, this acquisition might result in some interesting interpretation of those old IPs.
This also means that the first console wars finally ended after four decades. Much longer than the Nintendo vs Sega war which lasted less than 20 years.
Wouldn’t it be fun to have those ancient games released again for today’s consoles and see how Gen Zs and Gen As handle them?
