  Atari 2600 - the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The Atari 2600, released in 1977, was the first successful video game console to use plug-in cartridges instead of having one or more games built in.It was originally known as the Atari VCS, for Video Computer System, and the name "Atari 2600"was first used in 1982, after the release of the more advanced Atari 5200.
When Fairchildlearned of Atari's naming they quickly changed their unit to become the Channel F. However both units were now in the midst ofthe video game crash of 1977; PONG clones facedwith the extinction of their market due to these newer and more powerful machines simply dumped their boxes for ever-lowerprices.
Atari continued to scoop up licenses during the shelf life of the 2600, the most prominent of which included Pac-Man and E.T. Public disappointment with these two latter titles (and the market saturation of bad third-partytitles) is sometimes cited as a big reason for the video game crash of 1983.

 Atari 5200 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Atari 5200 was in essence, an Atari 400 computer without a keyboard.
The system featured many innovations like an automatically-switching switchbox (meaning it could automatically switch from regular TV viewing to the 5200) and 4 controller ports, but the most revolutionary was a controller with an analog joystick and system function keys (start, pause, reset).
The Atari 5200 also suffered from its initial cartridge incompatibility with the Atari 2600 (an adapter was later released in 1983).

 Atari 7800   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The 7800 was designed to replace the floundering Atari 5200, and to once and for all re-establish Atari's market supremacy against the Intellivision and Colecovision.
With this system, Atari addressed all the shortcomings of the Atari 5200: it had simple, digital joysticks; it was backwards compatible with the Atari 2600; and it was affordable.
The system was designed to be upgraded to a fully-fledged home computer—a keyboard was developed, and the system had an expansion port (derived from the Atari 8-bit line's SIO port) for the addition of peripherals like disk drives and printers.
