Quote:Atari - Gone [or close enough]
No, they're gone. They went out of business after the Jaguar. Sure, their game assets and names and logo have been used by several companies since (Hasbro, now Infogrames), but that doesn't mean that the current "Atari" has anything to do with Atari other than having paid the right people enough money to use the name.
Quote:You know that Nintendo's virtually the only console developer left from the 80's still making consoles?
'Virtually'? ... who else is still alive making consoles from back then? I mean, who's making consoles now...
Nintendo
Microsoft
Sony
Nokia
Tiger Telematics (if the Gizmondo counts...
)Those guys making the Phantom
and that's it, I think...
None of those other companies were making consoles in the '80s...
Quote:Commodore - Gone
Tandy - Gone
They made computers, not consoles, so I wouldn't say that they count for this list...
Quote:Not many game developers made it out of the 80's either and some that did are gone now. Crazy stuff.
At least some developers from then are still alive, though... though with consolidation a bunch have been bought up by larger companies.
