Sadly it's just a name, the rights to which was bought by Infogrames. Yep Atari is now the US arm of a French company based in New York. Sad, really. On the other hand the two "new Atari" PC titles on my shelf (UT2004 and Neverwinter Nights) are both excellent games.

You don't bring second rate stuff to the largest electronics show of the year.  Companies spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on their E3 displays.

Yeah, it IS E3, a show where 0.1% of the attendants give a damn about the retro arcade scene. It may be the biggest electronics show in the world, but if only a handful of people are going to be interested in retro arcade games, I certainly wouldn't bring my best uprights for people to abuse.
