The machine

The Atari 2600 popularized interchangeable cartridge gaming from 1977 and helped bring video games into living rooms.

Space Invaders, Adventure, Pitfall! and Kaboom! show how limited hardware could create memorable experiences. It is also essential to understanding the 1983 North American crash.
