Category:Atari



During the second generation of gaming, Atari was the powerhouse. They owned the biggest console around, the 2600, and led the industry to some of it's greatest successes... as well as its biggest disaster, the Great American Videogame Crash of 1983. Atari's subsequent consoles were nowhere near as successful, although their computers were quite popular, especially in Europe. The company ultimately closed their doors after the Jaguar flopped. (The company currently using the Atari brand is actually the French publisher previously known as Infogrames.)
