Atari 7800 Games
Overview
Date Range: 1986 - 1989
Atari released the Atari 7800, three years after it was designed. Many believe that had it been released in 1983 instead of three years later, it would have done very well and Atari's fortunes would be much better.
The Atari 7800 was considered outdated by current console of the time and gamers wanted the latest and greatest.
