"Atari is a quintessentially great American company," said Ian Bogost, Professor in the School of Literature, Communications, and Culture and Director of the Graduate Program in Digital Media. Bogost continued, "It's a part of Americana. For Gen Xers who remember the Atari heyday, it's living memory. It's our Norman Rockwell. For Millennials, it's folklore, even if just for hipster nostalgia." Source: Portfolio, December 1, 2011
