Atari 400

Atari 8-bit · 1979

The cheap half of Atari's 1979 launch, and a machine designed by people who made arcade games: the ANTIC and CTIA chips give it display list interrupts and hardware sprites that nothing else at the price could touch. Atari fitted a membrane keyboard and a single cartridge slot to keep it out of the 800's way, and that keyboard is the reason most people remember it unkindly.
