Used as an alternative to old school. Refers to old fashioned/retro methods, ways and style. Often a comparison with the trends and fashion of today.
In Cee Lo Green's song 'Fuck You':
Yeah, I'm sorry, I can't afford a Ferrari,
But that don't mean I can't get you there.
I guess he's an X-box and I'm more Atari,
But the way you play your game ain't fair.
X-box refers to 'today's'/modern style, while more Atari refers to old fashioned/'yesterday's' style...

Computer system from 1980s and early 1990s. Marketed under the tag, "Power without the price", the Atari ST was an extremely good system - and affordable - for its time, but the damp squib that was the STE (like a standard ST but with a blitter chip which no sod used and and extra £50 on the price), followed by the destined-never-to-arrive Falcon (also from Atari) caused interest to lapse. That, and the fact that there was a bit of a lack of decent software for it - it lost huge swathes of market share to PCs.

When every product of a brand is so bad you wish they would just burry all their devices in a desert field like Atari did in New Mexico in September 1983.
P1: fuck man (brand) is so shit, I wish they would just pull an Atari
P2: I agree, this (brand) is just terrible.

A sexy black guy with an amazing personality who is amazing in bed. He Is a kind asshole that you won't get enough of. Extremely funny with an interesting past. Very determined when he puts his mind to it and is an amazing person . Can be quiet but only talks to a hand full of people so feel lucky if he talks to you! Atari is a man who has a big heart but tries to hide it sometimes. If you meet an Atari just know he will be the realist person you ever met so don't get offended by the things he say.
"GIrllll, who is that chocolate brother over there?!"

Atari Stigmata (singular stigma) is a term used by members of the gaming faithful to describe the marks, sores, or sensations of pain in the hands from squeezing the life out of the non-ergonomic Atari game controller from the early 1980's.
I was playing Pac Man for hours, but I had to quit because of the excessive bleeding caused by my Atari Stigmata.
