Well,
the crash took place from 1983 to 1985. Read how many millions Atari
lost in 1983 and 1984 (until the Tramiels took over; the losses were
smaller then and somewhere in 1985 Atari was on the plus side again).
Some companies already got busted in 1983, some survived until 1984.
think, after 1985 the great homecomputer crash was over...
