Atari

Atari is one of the pioneers of the video game industry, founded in 1972 and synonymous with the arcade game era and early home consoles. The Atari 2600, launched in 1977, revolutionized the home console market by popularizing video games in American and global households. This console established the cartridge-based game business model and dominated the market for several years.

Atari also made history with iconic games like Pong, Space Invaders and Pac-Man, which laid the foundations of modern gaming. Although the company went through periods of decline, notably after the video game crash of 1983, Atari remains an iconic figure in the industry. Today, the brand continues to exist through reissues of its classic consoles and re-emergence projects in the gaming sector.
