Infogrames is gone I think. They are calling themselves Atari now.

Infogrames is to Atari as Gator is to Claria.

Same ****, different name.

Sad sad news...........but at least they live on in their classic games. They can never be taken away.

**Skanky Burns** · November 12, 2003, 07:09

True enough. Nice change of sig.

**DrSpike** · November 12, 2003, 07:15

Yes, well I was waiting for ages for someone to say something witty enough to go in my sig. This will do for a few weeks.

I'm going to play a memorial game of Civ1 and name my cities after Microprose software titles. Its a fitting tribute to a company that brought me so much pleasure for so many years.

I think I'll do the same -- with Master of Orion 2.

Still many many many CIVII MP games to play.

But this was like watching a sick relative. One that gets weaker and weaker and finally passes on.

Guys, just the name retired, the people will move on and still give us the games that we want. Most of the good ones have moved on anyhow. Microprose was a publisher and a game house, and we know that this industry is not very stable as far as that is concerned.

[Draws breath.....]

Ah damn I just can't be bothered - if all these guys with super degrees and market experience cant work out how to make a profit im not going to help them.

Its obvious that the name 'MicroProse' has been seen as worthless cause it wont mean much to all the new kids and their consoles..........hold on a minute, what about all the peole that have been buying games until now?(and might own a console as well)

Of course a name without content is about as useful as a surfer without waves.............i'm begining to wonder if all this name changing(Atari/Infogrames etc) is not the problem, but maybe the people left behind it once it has changed?

ok so i bothered a bit

I'll remember MicroProse as the people that gave me some of my best gameing experiences

Everything that has a beginning, must have an end...

Sad, though.

BTW, where do I turn on and off sigs?
