Bundled with both a “classic” Atari-style joystick and a modern controller, the system comes bundled with...
Release Date: 1975 Units Sold:200,000+ By the mid-1970s, Atari was riding high on the success of their first game Pong. One of the first commercial arcade games ever released, the literal hundreds of clones that sprung up in its wake compelled Atari to look for new ways to develop electronic games. A home version of their Pong game was the next log...
Release Date: May 21, 1984 Units Sold:1 million+ There’s a strong argument to be made that the Atari 5200 was the beginning of the end for the company. Riding high on the monumental success of the 2600, expectations were at a peak for the follow-up. What people got instead was one of the worst video game consoles of all time. An extraordinary failu...
Release Date: November 23, 1993 Units Sold:less than 150,000 A bizarre, aggressive advertising campaign did little to help Atari survive the next stage of the console wars, with the 1993 release of the Jaguar being marked by strong early salesand a plethora of elaborate promises made by a company whose public perception by this point was in tatters...
Release Date: September 1, 1989 Units Sold:2 million Although the Atari Lynx fared about as well as anything did for Atari in the 90s, the Lynx has a lot more going for it than the Jaguar, but it wasn’t perfect by any means. So bulky and heavy was this effort by Atari to take down the Game Boythat calling the system a handheld almost feels inaccura...
Release Date: September 1977 Units Sold:30 million Released in 1977, the Atari VCS (Video Computer System) wasn’t the first home console to market, but it was almost immediately the most successful and focused. It was a technical powerhouse for its time, and more importantly, it could play games besides Pong in bright, relatively vibrant colors. Ni...
Release Date: May 1986 Units Sold:1 million The Atari 2600 is more historically significant than the 7800, but for overall game quality, system specs, and sheer potential, the 7800 comes out on top of every Atari console ranking.

Dec 13, 2021 · 30 Best Atari Games, Ranked. Long before PlayStation, Xbox, Wii and even the classic Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), the various consoles produced by the Atari Corporation were the undisputed champs of home-based gaming.
