Difference between revisions of "Atari 8-bit family games"

The Atari 8-bit family is a line of computers produced by Atari, Inc. (and later Atari Corporation) from 1979 to 1992.

Originally designed to capitalise on the growing number of home microcomputers in North America in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the 8-bit family (which was never given an official all-encompassing name) was aimed at more professional users, with the Atari 2600 (and later Atari 5200) courting the low-cost video gaming market. Roughly 4 million units were sold worldwide in total.
