– Owns home computer and console properties.
– Also has rights to pre-1984 Atari arcade games, such as Asteroids and Centipede.
Atari Games (Warner) -> Atari Games (Namco) -> Atari Games -> Atari Games (Time Warner Interactive) -> Atari Games (WMS Industries) -> Midway Games West (Midway) -> ??? (Warner)
– Has done some home conversions under different names, such as Tengen.
– Owns 1984 and later Atari arcade games, such as Gauntlet, Paperboy and Marble Madness.
