Atari Games continued to manufacture arcade games &, starting within 1987, also sold cartridges for the Nintendo Entertainment System under the Tengen brand name, including the version of Tetris. the corporations exchanged a total of suit in the late 1980s related to disputes over a rights to Tetris & Tengen's circumvention of Nintendo's lockout chip, which prevented third parties from either creating wildcat games. (Atari Games' legal battles by using Nintendo should non exist as confused using victims of its previous parent company--Atari besides exchanged suit using Nintendo in the late 1980s & early 1990s.)

Around 1989, Time-Life bought Warner Communications, forming Time Warner. Inside 1993 Period Warner once again bought a controlling interest in the company & changed the title of Atari Games to Time Warner Interactive (TWI). Around 1996, TWI was sold to WMS Industries (owners of the Williams, and Bally/Midway arcade brands) and reverted back to the title Atari Games. Whilst Hasbro Interactive bought the remains of Atari Inc., the console manufacturer, and resurrected the Atari name in the home software arena, Atari Games was renamed Midway Games West to avoid confusing the two brands. Midway Games left a arcade market to concentrate within front yard systems in 2001, ending Atari's pivotal influence in the arcade industry. Midway Games West, however producing games for at home systems, was disbanded around 2003 after a slump within back sales.
