Atari 7800 Prosystem and 32 games


1983 and a struggling Video Game market saw Atari interview thousands of gamers on what they wanted and didnt' want in a gaming system. Uniquely Atari listened and produced a system with arcade-quality graphics, simple to use with sleek, responsive controllers, out of the box reverse-compatability with the Atari 2600 and its existing components, and all to be packaged in a sleek compact design. . . . . .Dadaaaaa the Atari 7800 Prosystem. The console was announced on May 21st, 1984, and carried a price tag of $140.
