The Last Days Of Atari - In Full Color

AtariKee writes "Scott Evans (famous to video game collectors as the sole owner of Army Battlezone and two Marble Madness 2 machines) stopped out at the former Atari's Milpitas, CA facility [most recently a Midway office] and took a large collection of pictures of what was once the mighty arcade giant's headquarters." The good news is that Scott "was able to obtain and preserve the majority of what you see here."

    After seeing "Gauntlet" pictured, I am stuck with only one thought:

    "Green Elf needs food BADLY."

    Ah, sweet memories...

    I don't remember the Gauntlet voice ever saying that. I do remember it saying (definitely in all caps):

    "RED WIZARD IS ABOUT TO DIE"
    "BLUE VALKYRIE IS ABOUT TO DIE"
    "GREEN ELF IS ABOUT TO DIE"

    But maybe I'm not very good at Gauntlet.

  6. Re:Infogrammes bought Atari by Talinom · · Score: 3, Funny

    Wrong.

    Atari went out of business as a preemptive counterattack to an imminent slashdotting. After all, who would put a link to a bunch of pictures on the web unless it was meant to kill the target?
