Following the release of the Atari 5200, in 1982, the VCS was renamed "Atari 2600", after the unit's Atari part number, CX2600. The 2600 was typically bundled with two joystick controllers, a conjoined pair of paddle controllers, and a cartridge game—initially Combat and later Pac-Man(even though the port of Pac-Man was horrible on the atari 2600). |

In 2009, the Atari 2600 was named the second greatest video game console of all time by IGN, who cited its remarkable role as the console behind both the first video game boom and the video game crash of 1983 (which was caused by a glut of [[shit]]ty games, such as [[Satan|E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial]] and for other reasons), and called it "the console that our entire industry is built upon." |
