Atari founder rejoins

Nolan Bushnell joins Atari Board almost 40 years after founding original company
Nolan Bushnell, the 1972 co-founder of Atari, has joined the new company's Board of Directors almost 40 years after setting up shop.

Bushnell, who's created over 20 companies since the original Atari and has been inducted into the Video Game Hall of Fame, said he was excited about rejoining Atari.

"I am very excited to be reacquainted with Atari at a time when it is poised to make interesting strides in key growth areas of the games industry," he said."The company and its iconic brands have always been important to me, and I look forward to further guiding them at the board level."

Atari said that the Board appointment comes at a time "when Atari has increased its focus on its iconic brand and world-renowned game franchises while further expanding its business online."

Other notable changes to the Atari Board include the departures of previous CEO David Gardner and Phil Harrison, who have both resigned from their Board roles. The pair will no longer play any part in Atari's business. It all looked so rosy two years ago, didn't it?
