They gave JTS a bridge loan of 25 Million and merged with JTS. If the
merger did not work JTS owes the loan. If it does work, then the loan
is forgiven. Atari licensed games to Sega and Nintendo. They also
write games for other platforms including MS DOS/Windows. I believe
their name is now ATARI INTERACTIVE GAMES, but I'll check on it.

For a little more 'classic content', the "JT" in JTS is for Jugi Tandon
of oldtime floppy disk drive fame and later hard disk and PC clones.
The
hard disk rights were sold to Western Digital at the time that they
bailed out of the card making business. Small world, ain't it?
