Any ideas why IG changed their name to 'Atari'.

Maybe it was because Moo3 was so bad. They didn't want to get recognised or be seen to be associated with it.
Its because theyre not satisfied with merely trying to destroy gaming in the present, they want to try to retroactively fuck over all of our good memories of gaming from the past.

I have 2 names in my Atari file.
Imperium Galactica 2
MoO3
Both hugely damaged after their involvement with The Publisher Formerly Known As Infogrames.
I would like to think they bought the name Atari as a fig leaf to cover the pulsing putrid evil which is their reputation in 4X gaming circles, plus people always spell Infogrames wrong because it is such a strange name. But its probably more to do with brand recognition by uninformed punters buying Xmas pressies, ie marketting as ever.

To me, winning at the highest level in Civ3 is much harder than doing so in Civ2. In fact, i was never able to conquer all opponents in Civ3 as i usualy did in Civ2. But Civ3 is also a great game and i'm looking forward to see civ4.damunzy wrote:I would also add the game Civ3 to that list - yet another game that got involved with Infogrames and was a big disappointment for a lot of the veteran Civ players.

Not all Civ verterans, but a lot. But you do have to admit that making multiplayer available only with a $30 expansion called Play The World, which had MANY new problems in it (like not being able to play people in other countries), is pretty sleazy - just Infogrames's/Atari's style.noelte wrote:To me, winning at the highest level in Civ3 is much harder than doing so in Civ2.

I am looking forward to Civ4 also. Hey, and they promised multiplayer out of the box!
There are 10 types of people in the world.
Those that understand binary and those that do not.

Heh, IIRC they promised MP out of the box for Civ3 as well.
