Video from the upcoming documentary-tribute to the legendary company, shows it on... takeoff
We are in the late 1970s, early 1980s. Digital culture is flourishing in California and the video game industry is in its infancy. After its acquisition by Warner Communications in 1976, ATARI, in addition to coin-op electronics for bowling alleys (or 'amusement arcades', as the arcades were commonly called in Greece at that time), is preparing to 'take over' the living room television.
With the help of some eccentric personalities, talent and a lot of joints. Its 'siege Ram' is the first super-star game console of all time. The ATARi 2600 which was released in 1978. A device that managed to reflect the talent, innovation, creative power and business plan of a company on the rise. Literally and figuratively.
Enjoy the excerpt from the upcoming documentary – tribute to the iconic video game company “ATARI: Game Over”, published exclusively by the reliable site, re/code. The episode, will be broadcast this Fall, by Microsoft’s Xbox Video as part of the technology documentary “Signal to Noise Ratio”.
