If you're a video game nerd like me, you know all about Atari. Hell, you probably grew up playing Atari and many of you may still own one. Well, I have some sad news to report...Atari has filed for bankruptcy...But, it may not be all bad.

Atari, the maker of classic games like Pong and Asteroids, has filed for bankruptcy, though the company hopes that this isn't the end. The goal with this bankruptcy is to actually end their relationship with their French parent company. Atari US hopes to become independent and move forward with digital and mobile games.

So, if you still happen to own an Atari...You may want to break out Frogger or Pitfall and buzz through a few games real quick, in honor of a fallen legend...even if they plan on being back.
