Atari Files for Bankruptcy

The Atari 2600 changed my life and the lives of children more than 30 years ago by bringing video games into our homes. I still remember my first game of Combat against my uncle, who purchased this game console on his way home from a business trip in Asia.  I still recall the moment when I "turned over" Asteroids - my friends cheered!
 The bankruptcy will allow Atari to split from its parent company and allow it to become independent company. Atari hopes to regain its profitable ways by developing games for mobile platforms, where it has seen some success over the last few years. I am pulling for them.
