Best of Atari was a French budget Windows PC video game label owned by publisher Atari, SA.

Company

Created after French video game publisher Infogrames purchased the rights to the Atari brand and subsequently renamed itself Atari, the label specialized in budget Windows PC titles.

Despite Infogrames having very little to do with Atari, the Best of Atari branding was applied to games formerly published or distributed in France and Spain by Infogrames, leading to a curious situation where a first-party Sega title like Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut' can be branded as being the "best of Atari" (despite no involvement from the company during development or publication.)
