Atari
Seventies arcade founder
Atari is a pioneering American video game company founded in 1972, responsible for popularizing arcade games and home consoles.
The Atari 2600 brought gaming into living rooms, making the brand synonymous with early video games: We used to play Atari at my cousin's house.
The name comes from a Japanese word used in the game Go.
