Many stories995 Archivesbeen told about an ancient power that tried to conquer the world, only to be punished for its hubris and vanish. This power wasn't Atlantis – it was Atari.
Following the home version of arcade sensation Pong, the Atari 2600became a cornerstone of the second generation of gaming consoles. With replaceable cartridges and a programmable CPU instead of hardwired transistors, it aimed to bring the arcade experience into the home – and succeeded, becoming the first game console owned by millions.
