Can you remember the first video game where did you play?

I can remember playing on Pokémon Yellow and Spyro The Dragon.

Some of you can remember playing Pac-Man and Invaders on Atari.

Atari was founded by Jack Tramel on May 17, 1984, as Tramel Technology, Ltd., and was renamed Atari two months later.

Atari 2600 is one of the most popular Atari dashboards, so read to learn more.

Atari 2600 on the market

Initially named Atari VCS (video computer system), the company has sold more than thirty million control panels.

It was a brand that changed to Atari 2600 in November 1982.

It is the third programming dashboard to be produced - it compared to the current amount.

Do not name a few: Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo.

Atari founder and Creator of Pong are Nolan Bushnell.

He sold the company to Warner Communications for $ 28 million.

After selling, Bushnell then continued to buy Theater Time Pizza restaurant.

Pizza Time Theater then became a famous Muff E. cheese restaurant.

Game on Atari

With the arcade game becomes extremely popular in the 1970s, Atari released the Home Pong game (Pong's smaller version) in 1975 in the US market.

However, this was delayed for a year, for legal reasons.

Pong homepage is played on a cartridge and these things are produced for three decades

Atari VCS was released on September 11, 1977, with nine playable matches.

They continued to release three extremely popular games: Outlaw, War War and Breakout.

At this point, the control panel was renamed to Atari 2600 and has 128 bytes of RAM.

Adventures are the first video game that contains an Easter egg - hidden messages and inside jokes.

In the case of Atari, Easter Egg is when an object is placed in a certain area of the game, it has revealed the name of the program.

For those who wonder, programmers for the adventure are Warren Robinett.

Competition and success

The contest arises in Activision form, a software manufacturer featuring in many video games today such as franchising Skylanders (2011 and still taking place).

Activision was started by four Atari programmers who were not delayed.

Not long after, the asteroids are produced to try and defeat the success that Activision has.

Leading this head, Atari also produces the new dashboard - Atari 5200. 2600 is still cheaper and has good quality games, and still sells as well as newer versions.

The dashboard then became more popular, with successful games like E.T.

Atari is producing this game and panel to fight opponent companies.

The best news they might have is that they are still selling.

"Stella" can still be found and sold - they are still making money decades after release.
