Nintendo's Game Boy was the most successful game system ever, with more than 100 million units sold worldwide. The word atari comes from the ancient Japanese game of Go and means "you are about to be engulfed." Technically, it is the word used by a player to inform his opponent that he is about to lose, similar to "check" in chess.
