Zombie company Atari to devour MobyGames

Atari announced on November 24 that they have reached a deal to acquire user-driven videogame database MobyGames for $1.5 million.

MobyGames is a singular resource for those interested in gaming history. Users can upload summaries, screenshots, box art, and developer information for anything from upcoming releases to games from the very dawn of the medium into a database which currently stands at 300,000 unique titles. This information is then assessed by volunteer fact checkers—think Wikipedia moderators.
