 | | The original company Atari was a pioneer in arcade games, home video game consoles, and personal computers, and its dominance in those areas made it a major force in the computer entertainment industry in the 1980s. |
 | | The Atari 5200 game console, released as a next-generation followup to the 2600, was based on the Atari 800 computer (but was compatible with Atari 800 game cartridges), and its sales never met the company's expectations. |
 | | While part of Warner, Atari achieved its greatest success, selling millions of Atari 2600 consoles, and at its peak, it accounted for one third of Warner's annual income and became the fastest-growing company in history in the United States (at the time). |
