Atari Founder Entices Girl Gamers with Restaurant Chain
Tech publisher Ziff Davis (note: Libe works for ZD) recently held a Gaming Summit in Sonoma, California where Nolan Bushnell, best known as the founding force behind Atari, talked about his plan to open a chain of video-game restaurants, aimed at women.
This may not be as crazy an idea as it seems, because Bushnell has a little experience in the chain restaurant world, having previously created Chuck E. Cheese (bet you didn't know that).
The first of the Media Bistro restaurants (no connection to the popular NYC journalism site) is set to open in Los Angeles in November.
