Atari Corporation was an American manufacturer of home computers and video game consoles. It was founded by Jack Tramiel on May 17, 1984, as Tramel Technology, Ltd., and took the Atari name less than two months later, when Warner Communications sold the home gaming and computing assets of Atari, Inc. to Tramiel. Its chief products were the Atari ST, Atari XE, Atari 7800, Atari Lynx and Atari Jaguar. In addition to hardware, the company published video games for its home systems and kept an in-house development team for Lynx and Jaguar software.
