The Atari 2600 is a
video game console released in
October 1977 by Atari, Inc. It is credited with popularizing the use of
microprocessor-based hardware and
cartridges containing game code, instead of
having non-microprocessor dedicated hardware with all games built in. The first game console to use this format was the
Fairchild Channel F; however, the
Atari 2600 receives credit for making the plug-in concept popular among the game-playing public. The
console was originally sold as the Atari VCS, for Video Computer System. Following the release of
the Atari 5200, in 1982, the
VCS was renamed
"Atari 2600", after the unit's
Atari part number, CX2600. The
2600 was typically bundled with
two joystick controllers, a conjoined
pair of paddle controllers, and a
cartridge game—initially Combat and later
Pac-Man. The Atari 2600 was wildly
successful, and during much of the
1980s,
"Atari" was a
synonym for this model in mainstream media and, by extension, for video games in general.
The Atari 2600 was inducted into the
National Toy Hall of Fame at The Strong in Rochester, New York in 2007. In
2009, the
Atari 2600 was named the
second greatest video game console of all time by IGN, who cited its
remarkable role as the console behind both the first video game boom and the video game crash of 1983, and called it
"the console that our entire industry is built upon. -

Se você era um menino ou menina nos anos 80, com certeza você teve ou desejou ter um Atari 2600! (eu ainda tenho o meu, mas não tenho mais cartuchos ou joysticks).
Zaxxon, Donkey Kong, Pac-Man, Miss Pac-man, tudo em
cartuchos, com
imagens bem toscas,
sem save games ou
enredos elaborados, mas
não havia nada antes para se comparar e
quem tinha um era muito sortudo mesmo!
Atari 2600 foi um video game projetado por
Jay Miner e lançado em
1977 nos Estados Unidos e em 1983 no Brasil. Considerado um
símbolo cultural dos anos 80, foi um
fenômeno de vendas no Brasil entre os anos de 1984 a 1986 e seus
jogos permanecem na memória de muitos que viveram a juventude nesta época. -
