A number of game companies that have japanese-sounding names (including
Atari) are all "western" companies in Europe or the Americas.

I don't remember what the others were. They might have gone out of business
when arcade consoles got overrun by compputers, but I remember there were
three or four I'd heard of.

Ahh... got it!
Reminds me of the time I wrote an interpolation algorithm for a graph.
It was just a simple cubic interpolation, really nothing fancy. But fun!
My circuit simulator is on the back burner at the moment. I got
distracted by an old project I've resurrected. Basically to write an app
to generate a C# class from a header. (Mostly for importing Windows API
functions easily.)

Nintendo is Japanese. Nintendo of America is just a division that
handles the licensing of consoles and games in the U.S.
