Released initially as the Atari Video Computer System, the console now known as the Atari 2600 would launch with color games comparable to arcade hits of the time and it became such a hit that it almost seems like one of the few Pre-NES consoles that still has a good amount of respect and nostalgia attached to it. Things would change though in 1977 when Atari, already one of the biggest names in this nascent entertainment medium, decided to have a go at home console hardware. While home consoles have been a part of the video game medium since nearly the start, the Magnavox Odyssey even predating Pong, the consoles rarely made a splash compared to the titles being released in the arcade.
