The name of this company was such a household name that here in Turkey we would call arcades “Atari Halls”. One of the oldest video game developers is Atari. Back then games being developed were limited by the capabilities of the chipsets. They were just chipsets that projected shapes on the screen. The machines utilized to develop the games of that era were not even proper computers. Home computing wasn’t even a known concept when the game that defines this genre was released.

I guess the best way to tell you about such an ancient genre is by talking about the games that have left their marks on yours truly.
