I don't believe this game was made by atari, maybe published on certian systems but I've played the game several times on the pc and never seen the atari brand logo anyway.
--- Take it back, infogrames, the developer, was bought by atari. Also a version was released on the 3do I believe. My suspicion is confirmed by the picture that clearly displays the 3do logo.
--- Made all these changes.

It was the other way around - Infogrames bought the rights to the Atari image and logo and renamed themselves Atari. I'd be very surprised if what we now call Atari employs anyone who worked at any of the previous hardware or software organisations that went by that name. One bit of confusion remains - I've heard reference to the game actually being developed by a group called I-Motion, but I've never found any details on that entity. If anyone can clear that up, please do.

[edit] Mac

This was also released on the Mac

[edit] Lord Boleskine

I thought Boleskine was an alias of Aleister Crowley, and that's what the book in the game is referring? Which would make sense as a reference to someone immersed in the "occult"...

[edit] spoiler?

I removed the spoiler tag since it didn't tell you nothing you wouldn't know even before playing the game.

Image:AITDscreenshot.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

[edit] RISC OS

This game was also released on RISC OS, and I've edited the article to reflect that. How do I know this? Well, I played it on my A3010! 81.159.187.161 (talk) 14:43, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
