How saw, I think my 7800 is still in my parent's basement somewhere. Man I spent some hours (ok days) on that thing!

I doubt this will be the end for Atari. The company has sort of been treading water for the better part of two decades yet still manages to survive somehow.

I thought they were based in France.

It isn't the same Atari. The old Atari died in the mid-90s as part of a reverse merger with drive maker JTS, who then sold the Atari name to Hasbro. Hasbro later sold it to Infogrames (the French company). The name will just be passed on to someone else, I'm sure.
