	Retro look at expensive computer gaming systems - Joystiq - www.joystiq.com

	Fairchild Channel F
		Atari released theirs in October of 1977, and decided to call it the Atari Video Computer System (later renamed to the 2600 with the introduction of the 5200 console in 1982) to latch on to the "video system" tag already in the consumers psyche from the Fairchild console.
		So instead of a short shelf life common to pong systems, the console could now be continuously renewed with the simple plugging in of a game cartridge.
		The games were selected by 4 selected buttons, which also doubled as option setters for single game cartridges.

	AGH Atari 2600 Review -- Combat
		When you consider that Combat was originally available for the Atari VCS in 1977, you'll begin to realize what a perfect pack-in game it was for the system.
		In this two-player only game, the object is to shoot and destroy your opponent's tank more times than he or she does the same to you before time runs out.
		Both games play a bit faster than Tank, and since the playfield doesn't have any borders, you can make your plane exit from one side of the screen and reappear on the other.

		All this is possible through the marvel of video games, and ever since 1972 we've been able to create electronic competitions in front of a crowd of cheering friends.
		In its time, Atari was video gaming for most people.

	ClassicGaming.com - The Atari/Apple Connection
		By the time the Apple II was released in 1977 Nolan, Al, and many of the original employees at Atari were on their way out the door of the company they helped build.
		At this time, many of the arcade games were being designed at a research facility that Nolan had bought in Grass Valley (where the Atari 2600 and the 400/800 computers would eventually be developed as well).
		Everyone from the ground up was involved in the games, the workers were encouraged to play them, competition in development (and playing) was encouraged - Nolan even had a hot tub installed for employees to relax in.

		So when the Atari 2600/Video Computer System (VCS) and Mattel's Intellivision brought video games to our living rooms in 1977 and 1979, respectively, there was really only one sport that people wanted to play on them.
		Part of this was due to the way that the National Football League surged in popularity at the same time as the video game era dawned.
		Ever since the console and computer games industries got off the ground in the later 1970s, developers have been trying to build a better football title.

		Gamespot's reasoning is that if the demo is console specific, despite the game's release on the PS2, PC and the Xbox, then it will be a playable demo on a specific (Xbox) console.
		Gamespot seems to be leaning a little toward the playable version, based on the fact that in FYE.com's product description of the game the demo is referred to as "Star Wars Battlefront X-Box Video Game Demo".
		Nonetheless, we are very excited to see the merging of games and DVDs, particularly when it involves the most highly anticipated DVD of all time.

	1983 december high scores
		This crash is not as well known as the 1983 one, since the video game market in 1977 was extremely small in modern terms, and mostly oriented towards adults.
		Video games were still seen as just another pastime which would probably soon diminish as some new leisure activity caught the mainstream's interest.
		It is estimated that fully 25% of the approximate 10,000 video game arcades in business by the end of 1982 will pull the plugs and close the doors on their equipment by 1986.

	The world's top atari 2600 websites
		The Atari 2600, released in 1977, was the first successful video game console to use plug-in cartridgess instead of having one or more games built in.
		When Fairchild learned of Atari's naming they quicky changed their unit to become the Channel F. However both units were now in the midst of the video game crash of 1977; PONG clones faced with the extinction of their market due to these newer and more powerful machines simply dumped their boxes for ever-lower prices.
		One example is the Atari Classics 10-in-1 TV Game, manufactured by Jakks Pacific, which simulates, more or less accurately, the basic electronics of the 2600 console, and includes ROMs from 10 cartridges, into a single Atari-brand-look-a-like joystick with composite video outputs for connecting directly to modern televisions or VCRs.

	The Video Game Critic's Atari 2600 Reviews S-S
		The main game variation is a first-person shooter in the loosest sense of the word, where you try to blast as many big blocky aliens as possible within 2 minutes 16 seconds.
		Crashing into a Walker inflicts major damage to it, and sometimes it makes sense to sacrifice a ship as a last ditch-effort to extend the game.
		Originally this game was sold with a device that would give your joystick two buttons, one for front weapons (machine guns, missiles), and one for the back (oil slicks, smoke).

		Bushnell was granted patents on some of the basic technologies for many of the early video games developed and is also the inventor or co-inventor of numerous worldwide patents in various other fields and industries.
		When the video game market crashed in 1983-84, Atari was left with vast quantities of unsellable software and no new technology to fall back on.
