Verbatim, from the transcripts: the passages where Atari comes up
The Tetris Company: Henk Rogers
- ▶ 2:44 Guy Raz There were powerful companies like Atari claiming rights to the game, and executives at Nintendo who weren't convinced that Tetris was a gamble worth taking.
- ▶ 25:04 Henk Rogers So, yeah, we had a deal, and two weeks later he calls me, and he says, I'm really sorry, but the, you know, the deal that we did couldn't have been made, because meanwhile, Mirosoft has given all those rights to Atari games.
- ▶ 26:45 Guy Raz So I guess you decided to reach out to Atari because you've been told that they had the rights for Tetris on the console, and you want to buy those rights from, presumably from them, right? 3 times in the scene
- ▶ 51:01 Guy Raz Not, not you or Atari or Nintendo.
