← Back to context Comment by iamflimflam1 19 days ago Fun fact - Atari threatened to sue me for my “clone” of Battlezone.https://youtu.be/bf7Ert1wkg4 3 comments iamflimflam1 Reply videotopia 19 days ago That's hilarious. God bless the old Atari who wanted to sue the world. The irony now of course is that Atari no longer own Battlezone's IP. Rebellion managed to grab it when Atari went bankrupt in 2013. badmonkey0001 19 days ago 15 years ago... They had just released a remake in 2008 for the Xbox, so the IP was certainly fresh in their minds.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlezone_(2008_video_game)Did they eventually drop the threat or did something else happen? iamflimflam1 17 days ago I removed my app from the US App Store and all was good.
