Released in 1977, the Atari 2600 wasn\u2019t just a video game console, it was a change to how people interacted with technology inside their own homes. It brought arcade-style fun into the living room and helped launch what would become the global video game industry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This website will take you through how the Atari 2600 was invented, how it was advertised, how it changed American family life and entertainment, and the legacy it still has today.
