Wait a minnit. Last time I checked, Microids had nothing to do with Atari. Have I missed something big? Or am I just stupid? -
Yeah, it was like an automatic seal of approval on console games. I can think of a few I bought never having seen them before, but figured it had to be good. That philosophy worked almost every time.Originally posted by child of Thor
I'll remember MicroProse as the people that gave me some of my best gameing experiences
It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

Maybe MicroProse haven't made many good games lately, but their name should count for something... only few game developers from back then are still known today... and MicroProse is one of them
This space is empty... or is it?Comment

First of all Atari didn't close them down. Infogrames "wearing the Atari name" closed them down. Infrogrames only revived the Atari name because their own name has become synonomous with bug ridden software burned onto cheap cds.
Microprose the name will be revived after Infogrames has finished destroying the Atari name and needs another shell to hide under.
Never forget that "Atari" is just a costume that Infogrames is hiding under.Comment

I was also confused............Microids did the excellent adventure game Syberia, and I don't recall a link to Infogreed.Originally posted by vovan

Sounds like what's happened to MacSoft...I'm not conceited, conceit is a fault and I have no faults...

The Microprose we knew disappeared a long time ago. There really wasn't anything left anyway. Those tears have been shed years ago.Skeptics should forego any thought of convincing the unconvinced that we hold the torch of truth illuminating the darkness. A more modest, realistic, and achievable goal is to encourage the idea that one may be mistaken. Doubt is humbling and constructive; it leads to rational thought in weighing alternatives and fully reexamining options, and it opens unlimited vistas.

I still have http://www.microprose.com in my favourites (bookmarks for the unfortunate users of non IE browser), but Microprose hasn't been there for quite some time now.Comment

Firaxis is still around, and hasnt been part of Microprose since they originally split away, IIUC. And IIUC all the Microprose people who were involved with Civ who were still at Atari/infogrames were in Firaxis.Originally posted by Space05us
no more civ then?
So this doesnt seem like big news to me, since ive never bought a microprose game that wasnt either a Sid/Brian effort or (Civ:TOT) directly based on one. As long as Sid, Brian and their cohorts (Bruce Shelley, Jeff Briggs, Tim Train, etc) are in the biz, thats good enough for me."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human.

and of course Firaxis is still in Hunt Valley, and, IIUC, so is BHG."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human. To become human, is what this individual person, has been created for.” Martin BuberComment

Yeah, we still have Firaxis....but it can't escape the grasp of Infogrames.

I was reading this comic strip by Rantz Hosely, who worked on MoO3, and I think it pretty much sums it up:
