Founded in 1972 by [Nolan Bushnell]? Atari could be credited with starting the Video Arcade industry with the seminal Pong?. Since the early days of coin operated machines, Atari has been responsible for home consoles [Atari 2600 VCS]?, eight-bit computers (Atari 400 & 800), took part in the 16 bit computer revolution with the Atari ST, made the revolutionary (for its time) 64 bit Atari Jaguar, and a hand held video game console, the Atari Lynx.
The founders of Atari have said that the inspiration for the name is a term from the board game Go; the term means, roughly, "Look out, this move I am making is dangerous to you".
