Atari 7800

Designed by General Computer Corporation (GCC) and presented to Atari in 1983, the Atari 7800 was developed with the intention to address the shortcomings of its predecessor. Although the Atari 7800 was officially announced in May 1984 due to the video game crash of 1983 and internal turmoil within Atari, its release was delayed. It wasn't until two years later, in 1986, that the console was finally launched, following the acquisition of Atari's Consumer Division by Jack Tramiel. Upon release, the Atari 7800 had a modest game library, which gradually expanded to include titles like "Joust," "Ms. Pac-Man," and "Donkey Kong." While it was well-received for its improved graphics and backward compatibility, it faced tough competition from other consoles of its time.
