'''Atari Corporation''' was formed in 1984 by Jack Tramiel as '''Tramel Technology, Ltd.''', but quickly took on the Atari name less than two months later after Warner Communications sold the home computing and game console assets of [[Atari, Inc.]] to Tramiel. In 1989, the company licensed from Epyx to release the Atari Lynx home console, and then a licensing agreement with [[Tengen]], the home unit of the unrelated coin-op company with the same name, [[Atari Games (1984-1994)|Atari Games]] to license out titles for the Lynx platform and the 7800 and the 2600. In 1993, it introduced the Jaguar platform, before it was reverse merged with JTS Inc. in 1996, and then with [[Hasbro Interactive]] in 1998.
