− | The Atari 2600 is a video game console released in October 1977 by [[Atari]], Inc. It is credited with popularizing the use of microprocessor-based hardware and cartridges containing game code, instead of having non-microprocessor dedicated hardware with all games built in. The first game console to use this format was the Fairchild Channel F; however, [[yes|the Atari 2600 receives credit for making the plug-in concept popular among the game-playing public]]. | + | The Atari 2600 is a video game console released in October 1977 by [[Atari]], Inc ,Yeah no shit.It is credited with popularizing the use of microprocessor-based hardware and cartridges containing game code, instead of having non-microprocessor dedicated hardware with all games built in.

The console was originally sold as the Atari VCS, for Video Computer System. 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). | The console was originally sold as the Atari VCS, for Video Computer System.

*In 1982, Atari tried to replace the Atari 2600 with the Atari 5200, due to the increasing presence of more powerful systems like Colecovision and Intellivision. However, the Atari 5200 would prove to be unpopular, and died a couple years later, in 1984, the same year that the Atari 2600 itself would die the first time. Unlike the Atari 2600, the Atari 5200 would not experience a revival in 1986. | *In 1982, Atari tried to replace the Atari 2600 with the Atari 5200, due to the increasing presence of more powerful systems like Colecovision and Intellivision.
