Which company do you think had a bigger impact on the video game industry Atari or Nintendo? I think Nintendo had a bigger impact on video gaming because they saved the video game industry from the crash in 1983.

They also shattered the concept that video gaming is just fad that's never to come back and I'm kind of partial to Nintendo since the first console I've played with was the N.E.S.

Another fact that I think is worth mentioning is that Mario a soulless character who started out as a 2D sprite in the Donkey Kong arcade game became more recognizable than Mickey Mouse.
