Atari at 50

Imagesource: https://www.howtogeek.com/

ATARI turned 50 years old this week. Benj Edwards has joined many others congratulating, but instead of an article he has a very special treat to offer. 

Benj took the occasion to interview one of the key figures who founded the company: Nolan Bushnell.

So, Happy Birthday ATARI! 🎂

The history of the great little devices, which kids nowadays strap to their faces at least 9.25 hours per day, and those, in front of which we „elders“ spend a large part of our work-and-leisure-everyday-life, was indeed not determined exclusively by ATARI. But if any company had a huge part in it, it was definitely ATARI.

Benj evaluates a good part of ATARI history and as always, he asked exactly the right questions. If you're interested in Nolan's answers, you can find the whole interview here.

Good old times. 😩
