Atari Announces an Official Portable 2600 System 279
Bill Kendrick writes: "Infogrames (the folks who now own Atari) have just struck a deal with another company to produce a 10-in-1 video game system based on the Atari 2600. It'll be joystick-shaped, plug into a TV set, cost only $20, and include games like Combat, Asteroids, Missile Command, and my favorite, Adventure! It won't replace my Atari 2600 Jr and 60 cartridges, but it's a step in the right direction!"

I thought Infogrames were going to be producing new games as Atari, not just raiding the back catalogue to put out shite games nobody wants - just like other recent incarnations.
It's well past the time Atari was allowed to die, I think.
