It was the console that marks Activision's big break in game development and emerging as one of the first third party game developers. It was extremely easy to develop games for at this time, which was both responsible for its rise and fall.
 Due to this, however poor quality control was responsible for its downfall, between too many companies trying to cash in on the hype (with some food companies trying to make games, even!) and others rushing to get high-profile games out (notable examples include Pac-Man and E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial) this ultimately resulted in the North American video game market crashing for the first time in 1983. Atari actually buried several of these unsold game cartridges in a landfill in New Mexico shortly thereafter, leading many to visit the site and the creation of a documentary on the event.

-The '''Atari 2600''' (originally known as the '''Atari VCS''') is a console created by Atari. While that it wasn't the first console or even the first console to have cartridges, it was the first popular console especially in the US. For some people, it was their first time playing games and even received various arcade ports. It was the console that Activision got its break into game development and the first 3rd party developer. Sadly because of poor quality control with various companies making games including food companies and rushed high profile games such as Pac-Man and E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial, it caused the North American Video Game Crash. Atari had to bury millions of cartridges and something that they didn't really recover from.
