    Also, in 1987 Atari released the XEGS . It was a 65 XE computer re-designed as a semi-standalone game console. It is fully compatible with Atari's 8-bit line both games and computer hardware and software, but the keyboard can be removed and it can just be played with cartridges or even the built-in Missile Command game. I have one and it's probably my favorite 80s console.

    Wasn´t the keyboard a separate,, a little pricey, accessory for the console ?. I was a little interested in this at the times because of its appearence (i had had a non-XL 800 before, but the steep price for getting a diskdrive was to tough for my teenage period🤔. I hated the cassette solution, and cartridges..,well i had a 2600 too, and EVEN MORE OF expensive cartridges wasn´t exactly what i yearned for). Commodore launched a similar low-budget console for use of C64 cartridges, approximately by the same time in western Europe. But considering it´s CONSOLES, but yet meant for cartridges to COMPUTERS, what happens if the game rom on the cartridge demands AN INTERACTION FROM THE KEYBOARD, in order to go on with the game ?..Without any keyboard, you´ll be sitting there as a moron then !. The way i sees it, this is not true consoles. It is computers, MASKED to be stylish consoles !.. 🤔

    @@gevaliasvittne7150 the All-knowing Wikipedia says that there was a "Basic" set of the central XEGS console and a joystick (same one used on the 2600, but in that shade of gray that was really popular in the late 80s for some reason) and the "Deluxe Package" which included the keyboard and light gun. I acquired mine a few years ago, and everything was there, so I'm guessing the previous owner purchased the Deluxe Package. If it's powered on with the keyboard connected and no cartridge, it will boot to Atari BASIC, and can be used just like any other 8-bit computer in the line (I don't have a disk drive though). If powered on without the keyboard or a cartridge, it will default to the built-in Missile Command. If there's a cartridge, regardless of keyboard, it will load that game. I don't have it, but I've seen demos of a homebrew GUI for the 8-bit line and if anyone is thinking of any gift ideas for me for Christmas...

    It was a better executed games console than the 5200 released five years earlier. Although the 5200 laid claim to sharing internal specs with the 400 and 800 computers, the library of cartridges for them were not adaptable, and it's said Atari designed the 5200 that way so that the home games division did not overtake from their computer division, but it also had several other problems including its joystick circuitry and, initially, the lack of ability to play the 2600 cartridge library which was rectified later on when they marketed a plug-in adapter that allowed you to play 2600 carts. Therefore, with the XEGS, you could play all the carts going back to the 400 and 800.

    The Jaguar was frequently defective and had a lot of returns. I had three friends who each got one on launch (the only three people I know who bought one while it was on the market), but had their console fail within a week. They then exchanged the failed unit for a replacement, then had the replacement fail within a week. After the second failure, all three decided to just return the Jaguar and get their money back. Based on that, I can believe 150k units may have been net sales figure, with significantly more having been manufactured.

Everything before that was only rectangles and squares/"console gen. 1". Different consoles had/had not colors. Or even, had/had not any sound at all...Damn,..i HATED my Pong console !. "Supersports" was the included game cartridge. But there was no sports. Only "moving squares and rectangles on the screen, with little gay-ish controllers". But in fact, "Submarine" was even worse, believe it or not !. I still owns the stuff. It probably works, but no one wants it i guess.. 🤥

    Great video. Pitfall and Donkey Kong Jr weren't on the Atari Flashback 2004 console though. In fact, even the ones that did appear were not the original Atari versions. It was running 20 NES ports that were made to run on NES-on-a-chip hardware (a cost saving business decision). Of course, Atari fans were appalled about that but they exist as officially produced NES ports of Atari games. That's a pretty strange thing and not many Nintendo fans seem to know about it.

    The first Atari cartridge game was originally called the Atari Video Computer System. The designation 2600 was only used from 1982 to distinguish it from the new 5200 model but most people called the original machine the "VCS" for many years after. The first Atari VCS had six switches, not four as in the graphic, and originally had a very heavy metal shield to prevent EM interference from the machine. It was then redesigned with a much lighter shielding and slightly sharper corners. "Heavy Sixers" are collectors' items and quite valuable. It was only several years later that the "four switcher" was released with two of the original lever switches being replaced by smaller switches on the back of the unit. The Atari Junior, a redesigned 2600, was not mentioned, nor were the preloaded Atari Juniors that were released in the 1990s to make a few dollars more on the ageing system. During this time, Juniors varied in the number of games in the console ROM -- up to 128 games in some versions -- and could also play 2600 cartridges. All the demonstration games shown for the 5200 were actually the 2600 versions. The Atari name has been bought and sold several times over the years and is not the same entity it was originally. In reality, only the name survives, save for the occasional releases of emulated games on superficially similar hardware.

I know these brands no longer exist but they played a role.

    @@IanSonicGachaVA “did research” more like “read an article on some random website saying something about it.” I didn’t exist in 1983 either, but I’m not ignorant. ET was a fun game, despite having some annoyances. I’d say one of the best games on the system, definitely one of the most complex. It wasn’t ET being bad that killed Atari; it was that Atari grossly overestimated the sales, manufacturing more games than there existed VCS systems. Atop of that, the entire market was just full of garbage games (mostly made by third parties, NOT Atari) that consumers had no idea if they would be any good. Resulted in people wanting nothing to do with home consoles. Like I said, I wasn’t around in 1983 to speak from experience, but I can tell you that what I’m saying is more accurate than what you are.

The difference is in the amounts of RAM 🐏, as well as the power 🔋 of the graphics hardware & sound chips 🍟 . The 2600 had a mere 128 bytes of RAM the later computers & consoles had significantly more
