Atari 2600: The Icon That Started It AllÂ
It all started here. The Atari 2600 revolutionized home entertainment with its groundbreaking cartridge-based system. Its robust game library and simple design made it a household name. As a result, electronic gaming slowly began to become a part of culture.
Atari 5200: The Sophisticated SuccessorÂ
Next we had the Atari 5200. It was designed to be the next big thing with improved graphics and a more advanced controller. Unfortunately the analog controllers were non-centering, which made many games difficult to play. It struggled compared to the technologically superior Colecovison. While it faced tough competition, it still remains a collector’s gem.
Atari 7800: The Best of Both WorldsÂ
The Atari 7800 attempted to correct some mistakes, while offering backward compatibility with the 2600’s extensive library and introduced a new lineup of arcade hits. It’s the perfect console for those who want to enjoy the full range of Atari’s home gaming history.Â
Atari Jaguar: The 64-Bit PioneerÂ
As Atari’s most powerful console, the Jaguar boasted 64-bit graphics at a time when 16-bit was the standard, for instance. Though it was ahead of its time, the Jaguar has a dedicated fanbase and a library of games that pushed the boundaries.
Atari Lynx: The Handheld With a TwistÂ
The Atari Lynx was the first color handheld console with a backlit screen, which allowed for vibrant gaming on the go. Its impressive hardware and unique game titles make it a standout in the history of portable gaming.
