| | Most Influential Video Game Console? - AtariAge Forums |
| | In the first wave of home video game consoles, there were many popular systems: The Atari 2600, Odyssey 2, Intellivision, ColecoVision, Atari 5200, and on and on. | | | It was the first colossal success of home console gaming (Odyssey was more "pioneering", Intellivision was more "innovative", Coleco was more "coin op" but none were in as many homes as Atari) and the first colossal failure (shortsightedness, big egoes, flooding the market, screwing retailers, making a kludgy successor to their original machine, et cetera). | | | Put simply, I think the rise and fall of the VCS shaped every single aspect of home console gaming before, during, and since it's heyday; which is part and parcel of the reason there is so much nostalgia about it and so many homebrew projects for it today. |
