    • Abstract:
      The article looks at Innovative Leisure, a video game company composed of several retired or semi-retired programmers and game designers from defunct video game company Atari. Topics discussed include how mobile device application games for smartphones and tablet computers are similar to the arcade games of the 1980s, the group's disdain for contemporary, graphics-heavy games such as World of Warcraft, and how the Atari company collapsed in the early 1980s when other video game companies like Nintendo flooded the market. Innovative Leisure employees including Seamus Blackley, Rob Zdybel, and Owen Rubin are mentioned.
