Atari
Atari was founded in 1972 by Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney. It became famous for creating some of the first arcade games, like Pong.
Pong was a simple tennis game that became very popular. People loved going to arcades to play Atari games. In the late 1970s, Atari released the Atari 2600, a home video game console. This console allowed people to play games at home, which was a new and exciting idea at the time.
Atari helped start the video game industry. The company made many popular games, like Asteroids and Space Invaders. These games were simple but very fun to play. Atari's success inspired many other companies to create their own video games and consoles. Even though Atari is not as big today, it is remembered as a pioneer in the world of video games.
