Notas sobre el Go

Origen del nombre de la compañı́a de video-

juegos ATARI

Their company (originally called Syzygy Co.) was

founded in 1971. Upon discovering that the name was
already in use in California, the duo changed it to Atari,
Inc in 1972. The word “ataru” literally means “to hit a
target” in Japanese and is associated with good fortune.
The name came from the ancient Chinese board game
Go, of which Bushnell was a fan. He essentially chose
company’s name from amongst its strange jargon. In
that context, Atari means something closer to “I’m about
to win” - like “check” in chess. Other name candidates,
reportedly, were Sente and Hane.
