Atari Corporation was an American manufacturer of computers and video game consoles. It was founded by Jack Tramiel on May 17, 1984, as Tramel Technology, Ltd., but then took on the Atari name less than two months later when Warner Communications sold the home computing and game console assets of Atari, Inc. to Tramiel.[4] Its chief products were the Atari ST, Atari XE, Atari 7800, Atari Lynx and Atari Jaguar.
The company reverse merged with JTS Inc. in 1996,[2] becoming a small division which itself closed after JTS sold all Atari assets to Hasbro Interactive in 1998.[3]
