Use your head. [quote]drove ATARI into bankruptcy.[/quote] No, it drove Atari to briefly leave the console business, splitting into Atari Games (arcade games) and Atari Corporation which made things like the much loved Atari ST computer and, later on, consoles and handhelds like the 7800, the Lynx and the Jaguar, none of which really caught fire. A user of Pascal should be more familiar with this era. Instead of your stupid urban legends, a cool fact about ET is that it actually directly contributed to the rise of Nintendo because when Atari split up it was in the middle of negotiations to bring the Nintendo Famicom to the west. With that deal dissolved and no more players in the market, Nintendo went it alone.[/quote]
