Atari 2600
Atari consoles · 1977
The console that created the industry. A 6507 with 128 bytes of RAM and no frame buffer, so the program has to build the picture a scanline at a time in step with the beam — the hardest mainstream machine ever to program, and the reason its best games are feats of engineering. It sold thirty million, caused the 1983 crash, and every collection starts here.
