+= Details =
 The Atari 2600 was released in 1977 by Atari, Inc. It is a part of the [second generation] of home videogame consoles. It's original name was the '''Atari VCS''', which stood for ''''Video Computer System''''. However, once the Atari 5200 was released in 1982, it was re-branded as the ''''Atari 2600''''. Most people who weren't super nerds just called in the Atari.

 The Atari was typically bundled with two joystick controllers, 2 paddle controllers, that shared the same plug, and one game, either Combat or Pac-Man.
