Atari Japan is the Japanese branch of the foreign game manufacturer, Atari.
Atari, a game company, was founded in the United States in 1973.
Its own games became hits, and a branch was established in Japan in 1973.
Afterwards, they continued searching for a Japanese game company partner to co-manage, but for various reasons, they had difficulty finding one.
During that process, they acquired various game development know-hows and managed to develop their own unique game software.
Later, as the headquarters' management scaled down, the software released from Atari Japan also decreased.
They terminated the contract with the partner who supported their management in Japan and temporarily suspended activities in the 1990s.

This Atari seems like a fairly large company.

Yes! Atari is quite a famous company in America, so please check out Atari beyond just Atari Japan!
Active as the Japanese branch! Here's the software lineup of Atari Japan, a global enterprise!
