Atari

Atari is a computer video game entertainment system console invented in 1972 by mormons Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney in a basement in Sunnyvale California. During the time of it's reign in the arcade and home entertainment industry Atari was the bad ass system of the day, and is credited for pioneering ideas such as cartridge games. Its good reputation has (since 1984) been ruined by Corporatism, Hasbro, and current owners Infogames who, after nearly losing all of their money on their retarded ideas finally were able to bounce back by making a shit ton of Dragon Ball Z games to sell to millions of screaming G4 fans. Atari's name is continually ruined by said fans who insist on wearing clever tshirts with the Atari logo and captions like "Kicking it Old School" or something equally stupid.

Pong

This was the idea of fun in 1972

One of the first to be released for the Atari, this black and white table-tennis game provides minutes of entertainment.

Atari 2600

Basically the next-gen of the day

HOLY SHIT SON, 7-BIT GRAPHICS? The Atari 2600 was the first gaming console to utilize a microprocessor, meaning games could be written by anyone and stored on programmable cartridges. This paved the way for future consoles and also blew the market wide open for third party vendors who were now able to release their own games without having to provide a proprietary console of their own.
