An old-school online game rivalry has a brand new chapter: Atari, recognized for producing one of many first hit house recreation consoles, has introduced the acquisition of long-time rival Intellivision’s model and rights to over 200 video games from Intellivision Leisure. The 2 corporations have been key gamers within the trade’s first console struggle within the late Nineteen Seventies and early Nineteen Eighties. Atari plans to increase distribution of Intellivision video games and discover new alternatives for the model. Mike Mika, studio head at Digital Eclipse, an Atari-owned recreation studio, commented on the deal, saying the acquisition “ends the longest-running console struggle in historical past.”
