And there was me thinking that Apple were the kingpin of Mobile gaming

I dunno why no one doesn't do a pacman or space invaders clone (since atari's rights to those games expired years ago, and i spoke to someone that once owned the home gaming rights to pacman...this back in 2000) and just leave the atari crap to wither away and die (preferably along with the company), I say space invaders because Atari can't sue anyone for that game (remember what happened when they tried suing commodore over the same game, all that happened is that commodore released the game under another name)

Ultimately Atari's present actions aren't going to do it any favours, they already lost the support of the classic/retro market (and thats' nothing to do with their actions against the emulators) and now they're going to lose mainstream support

Perhaps Atari needs a lession in basic business logic...i.e look after your customers...give them what they want....something that Atari hasn't done in donkey's years

Was gonna say, at some point "Atari a bunch of jerks!" stops becoming news
