| | Atari 2600 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Atari 2600, released in 1977, is the first successful video game console to use plug-in cartridges instead of having one or more games built in. | | | Thus, the Atari 2600 was the console which made the plug-in concept popular among the game playing public. | | | Atari suffered from an image problem when a company named Mystique produced a number of pornographic games for the 2600. |

| | Adventure for the Atari 2600 |
| | Adventure, a video game cartridge for the Atari 2600 video game console, was the first action-adventure video game. | | | Adventure introduced the idea of movable objects (represented by visible icons) that could be picked up by the player (using a joystick) and moved from place to place in the game world. | | | Atari game carts go for a few dollars each, and for $20, you can get an Atari 2600 console and a dozen game carts. |

| | It was also home to great games like Adventure, considered by many to be the first action-adventure game and the first game to contain an “Easter Egg”. | | | The Atari 2600 was home to a multitude of firsts. | | | While somewhat uninteresting and archaic by today’s standards, when put into context, Adventure is truly one of the single most important video games of all time, and its influence is as far reaching as the influence of the Atari 2600 itself. |

| | Adventure is very enjoyable for gaming adventurers, even if you're not into history. | | | Atari wouldn't let give its designers credit for their games, so Robinett decided to hide his name in Adventure. | | | Warren Robinett, the game's creator, managed to create a game that's light on visuals, but high on gameplay.... |

| | ATARI 2600 |
| | Atari 5200, but it never really caught on and it won't play your 2600 games unless you buy a special adaptor, and finding one of those can be pretty difficult too. | | | The two controllers Atari gave you only had one button so the games are really simple to play but this created a problem for some games like Mouse Trap where a extra button would have helped with the game play (opening doors and the switching into Dog mode gets very confusing). | | | The Atari 2600 also has a lot of options on the system itself to alter your games like Type A or B switches, game select, and even an option for Black and White or Colour. |

| | The background was that at that time, Atari had a monopoly, and did not choose to give the game designers credit on the published games. | | | There was a group at Atari that produced the game manuals. | | | The Atari 2600 video game, on the other hand, could not display text, but could display little movable sprites and a low-res background, and could play sounds. |

| | Adventure also has a "random game" feature which means the game can stay fresh, even after hundreds of plays! | | | Significant for many reasons: for one, the infamous "Easter egg" which rebelled against Atari's practices of not giving any credit to game creators (it's usually considered the first Easter egg ever). | | | It sold millions of copies, established a new genre of adventure games and spawned hundreds of similar products. |

| | Adventure is an addictive video game that is one of the few Atari 2600 games to remain popular to the present day. | | | It is unusual for video games of its era in that the game board does not consist of a single screen, or even a few similar screens. | | | You, the single player, are represented by a small square, whose movements you control. |
