                                   ATARI, INC.

        DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRANT'S FISCAL YEAR 2004 EXECUTIVE BONUS PLAN

Target annual bonuses are set for each executive based upon a percentage of base
salary. Bonuses are calculated based on three components, one of which relates
to the U.S. Company's and/or the business unit's profit and revenue results, one
of which is measured against worldwide cash flow, profit and revenue results,
and in the case of studio-based executives, one of which is based on the
timeliness of product delivery. Bonuses are paid after the end of the fiscal
year after the audit is complete. If Atari, Inc.'s worldwide operating profit
attainment for the fiscal year is less than 80% of the Company's plan, no bonus
is required to be paid for the fiscal year; bonuses then become discretionary.
If profits and/or revenue exceed plan for the fiscal year the bonus rate is
accelerated for the incremental profits and revenue above plan, with a maximum
of 150% payout of the bonus target.<PAGE>
