Atari 2600

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The Atari 2600, originally branded as the Atari Video Computer System (Atari VCS) until November 1982, is a home video game console developed and produced by Atari, Inc. Released on September 11, 1977, it is credited with popularizing the use of microprocessor-based hardware and games stored on ROM cartridges (a format first used with the Fairchild Channel F in 1976). The VCS was bundled with two joystick controllers, a conjoined pair of paddle controllers, and a game cartridge: initially Combat,[5] and later Pac-Man.[6]

The Atari VCS launched with nine simple, low-resolution games in 2 KiB cartridges. The system found its killer app with the home conversion of Taito's arcade game Space Invaders in 1980 and became widely successful, leading to the creation of Activision and other third-party game developers as well as competition from home console manufacturers Mattel and Coleco. By the end of its primary lifecycle in 1983–84, games for the 2600 were using more than four times the ROM of the launch titles[7] with significantly more advanced visuals and gameplay than the system was designed for, such as Pitfall! and its scrolling sequel Pitfall II: Lost Caverns.

Atari invested heavily in two licensed games, Pac-Man and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, which were released in 1982. Pac-Man became the biggest selling game for the 2600, but the drastic difference in quality between the port and the arcade original contributed to a loss of consumer confidence in the console. E.T was a commercial failure frequently cited as a major factor in the video game crash of 1983 that ended the market relevance of the 2600.

Warner sold the home division of Atari to Commodore CEO Jack Tramiel. In 1986, the new Atari Corporation under Tramiel released a lower-cost version of the 2600 and the backwards-compatible Atari 7800, but ultimately it was Nintendo that led the recovery of the industry. Production of the Atari 2600 ended on January 1, 1992, with an estimated 30 million units sold over its lifetime.
