[[Telegames]] released several games in the late 1990s, including a port of ''[[Raiden (arcade game)|Raiden]]'' and a platformer called ''Fat Bobby'' in 1997,<ref>{{cite magazine|date=June 1997|title=News Bits|url=https://archive.org/details/GamePro_Issue_105_Volume_09_Number_06_1997-06_IDG_Publishing_US/page/n21/mode/2up|magazine=[[GamePro]]|publisher=[[International Data Group|IDG]]|issue=105|page=20}}</ref> and an action sports game called ''Hyperdrome'' in 1999.

On March 13, 1998, nearly three years after the Lynx's discontinuation, JTS Corporation sold all of the Atari assets to [[Hasbro Interactive]] for $5 million.<ref>{{cite web|last=Johnston|first=Chris|date=April 28, 2000|title=Atari goes to Hasbro|url=https://www.gamespot.com/articles/atari-goes-to-hasbro/1100-2462915/|website=GameSpot}}</ref> On May 14, 1999, [[Hasbro]], which held on to those properties until selling Hasbro Interactive to [[Atari SA|Infogrames]] in 2001,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://pc.ign.com/news/28701.html |title=Infogrames to Acquire Hasbro Interactive |date=December 6, 2000 |website=[[IGN]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20011119190727/http://pc.ign.com/news/28701.html |archive-date=November 19, 2001 |url-status=dead |access-date=September 30, 2019}}</ref> released into the [[public domain]] all rights to the Jaguar,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.atariage.com/Jaguar/archives/HasbroRights.html |title=Hasbro Releases Jaguar Publishing Rights |publisher=Hasbro Interactive |access-date=May 14, 2008 |quote=Beverly, MA (May 14, 1999) – Leading entertainment software publisher, Hasbro Interactive announced today it has released all rights that it may have to the vintage Atari hardware platform, the Jaguar.}}</ref> [[open platform|opening up the platform]] for anyone to publish software on without Hasbro's interference.

In 2008, Atari was honored at the [[Technology & Engineering Emmy Award|59th Annual Technology & Engineering Emmy Awards]] for pioneering the development of [[handheld games]] with the Lynx.<ref name="CES 08 Nintendo Emmy">{{cite web|url=http://www.gamespot.com/news/6184421.html |title=CES '08: Nintendo wins second Emmy |website=GameSpot |date=January 8, 2008 |access-date=May 9, 2014}}</ref>

In 2022, the compilation ''[[Atari 50]]'' released with a handful of popular Lynx titles, marking the first time that classic Lynx software would be officially rereleased by Atari.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Atari 50: the Anniversary Celebration |url=https://atari.com/products/atari-50th-the-anniversary-celebration |access-date=2024-01-23 |website=Atari |language=en}}</ref>
