Ocean wasn't my favorite developer, but they made the occasional good game based on my favorite movies, and it hurt when they were acquired by Infogrames (a company that dedicated itself to absorbing companies and wasting their potential). I think it wouldn't be a bad idea for them to come back to life, this time with a proposal for their own franchises so they don't depend on anyone. Acclaim is trying to do that.
Atari holds the world record for bankruptcies due to all the terrible management it's done, and somehow some naive soul always seems to come along and try to salvage its reputation (personally, I'd salvage the names of Jaleco, Technos, or Data East if I had the money, but never Atari's). And every time they theoretically start doing things right, they end up screwing it up when they try to "reinvent" or "improve" themselves.
The only way Atari could surprise me would be through Night Dive Studios, but Atari alone is in no way capable of surprising me with the announcement of a console nobody asked for, or with unnecessary remakes of Pong, Asteroids, Centipede, Missile Command, Yars, Breakout, etc. I wouldn't even be surprised if they announced adaptations of the games they bought from Ubisoft, like Child of Eden, Cold Fear, Grow Home, Grow Up, and I Am Alive.
I refused to buy Bomberman Collection because I have all the ROMs translated into my language and I can already play them on my phone using Afterplay, that's why I decided not to have it on my Switch 2.
How curious, yesterday I visited several video game stores and found that game still in excellent condition, but I didn't buy it. Now I'm seriously considering going back.

There's a strategy game on Steam that uses this same type of graphics, but I can't remember the name.
