Beyond those three, the machine contains just one more chip, a standard CMOS logic chip, bringing the total chip count to the very low and cost effective number of four. At first the design was not going to be cartridge based, but after seeing a fake cartridge system on another machine they realized they could place the games on cartridges essentially for the price of the connector and packaging. In August 1. 97. 6 Fairchild Semiconductor released their own cartridge based system, the Channel F. Stella was still not ready for production, but it was clear that it needed to be before there were a number of me too products filling up the market which had happened after they invented PONG. Atari simply didnt have the cash flow to complete the system quickly, given that sales of their own PONG systems were cooling. Nolan Bushnell eventually turned to Warner Communications, and sold the company to them in 1. Stella would be produced as soon as possible. Key to the eventual success of the machine was the hiring of Jay Miner, a chip designer who managed to squeeze an entire breadboard of equipment making up the TIA into a single chip. Once that was completed and debugged the system was ready for shipping. By the time it was released in 1. US1. 00 million. As yet Atari has failed to reveal whats under the new consoles hood, telling would be players to expect current content alongside classic games. The initial price was 1. In a play to compete directly with the Channel F, Atari named the machine the Video Computer System or VCS for short, as the Channel F was at that point known as the VES, for Video Entertainment System.

Including action games, racing games, puzzle games and many moreWhen Fairchild learned of Ataris naming they quickly changed the name of their system to become the Channel F. However both systems were now in the midst of a vicious round of price cutting PONG clones made obsolete by these newer and more powerful machines sold off their boxes to discounters for ever lower prices. Soon many of the clone companies were out of business, and both Fairchild and Atari were selling to a public that was completely burnt out on PONG. In 1. 97. 7 Atari sold only 2. VCSs. In 1. 97. 8 only 5. Warner to cover losses. This led directly to the disagreements that caused Atari founder Nolan Bushnell to leave the company in 1. Once the public realized it was possible to play video games other than PONG, and programmers learned how to push its hardwares capabilities, the 2. Fairchild had by this point given up, thinking they were a passed fad, thereby handing the entire quickly growing market to Atari. By 1. 97. 9, the 2. Christmas present and console, mainly because of its exclusive content, and a million were sold that year. Atari then licensed the smash arcade hit Space Invaders by Taito, which greatly increased the units popularity when it was released in May 1. The 2. 60. 0 and its cartridges were the main factor behind Atari grossing more than 2 billion in profits in 1. Sales then doubled again for the next two years, with almost 8 million units selling in 1. During this period, Atari expanded the 2. They designed the Atari 2. The company also built a sleeker version of the machine dubbed the Atari 2. Japanese market in early 1. Nintendo Famicom. During this period Atari continued to grow until it had one of the largest R D divisions in Silicon Valley. They spent much of their R D budget on projects that seemed rather out of place at a videogame or even home computer company, projects many of which never saw the light of day. Meanwhile several attempts to bring out newer consoles failed for one reason or another, although their home computer systems, the Atari 8 bit family sold reasonably if not spectacularly. Warner was more than happy anyway, as it seemed to have no end to the sales of the 2. Atari was responsible for over half of the companys income. The programmers of many of Ataris biggest hits grew disgruntled with the company for not crediting game developers. For example, Rick Mauer, the programmer of Atari 2. Space Invaders, received no credit and made only 1. Most notably, Warren Robinett, the lead programmer of Adventure, in protest against Ataris anonymity policy, hid his name in a secret room within the game. This was the very first Easter egga hidden treat or in jokea practice which continues in software development to this day. Many other programmers left the company and formed their own independent software companies. The most prominent and longest lasting of these third party developers was Activision, founded in 1. Atari itself. Atari attempted to block third party development for the 2. Imagic and Coleco, entered the market. Atari suffered from an image problem when a company named Mystique produced a number of pornographic games for the 2. The most notorious of these, Custers Revenge, caused a large number of protests from womens and Native American groups. Atari sued Mystique in court over the release of the game. Atari continued to scoop up licenses during the shelf life of the 2. Pac Man and E. T. Public disappointment with these two titles and the market saturation of bad third party titles are cited as big reasons for the video game crash of 1. Suddenly Ataris growth meant it was losing massive amounts of money during the crash, at one point about 1. Warner quickly grew tired of supporting the now headless company, and started looking for buyers in 1. The basic layout of the 2. The CPU was the MOS Technology 6. MHz in the 2. 60. The 6. 50. 7 included fewer memory address pins 1. Smaller packaging was, and still is, an important factor in overall system cost, and since memory was very expensive at the time, the 6. KB of maximum external memory space wasnt going to be used up anyway. In fact memory was so expensive they couldnt imagine using up even 4. K, and when they got a deal on 2. K. Later games got around this limitation with bank switching. The console had only 1. RAM for runtime data that included the call stack and the state of the game world. There was no frame buffer, as the necessary RAM would have been too expensive. Instead the video device had two bitmapped sprites, two one line missile sprites, a one pixel ball, and a playfield that was drawn by writing a bit pattern for each line into a register just before the television scanned that line. As each line was scanned, a game had to identify the non sprite objects that overlapped the next line, assemble the appropriate bit patterns to draw for those objects, and write the pattern into the register. By default the right side of the screen was a duplicate of the left to control it separately, the software had to modify the patterns as the scan line was drawn. After the controller scanned the last active line, a more leisurely vertical blanking interval began, during which the game could process input and update the positions and states of objects in the world. Any mistake in timing produced visual artefacts, a problem programmers called racing the beam. The video hardware gave the 2. For example, although each sprite nominally had only one colour, it was possible to colour the rows differently by changing the sprites colour as it was drawn. If the five hardware sprites were not enough for a game, a developer could share one sprite among several objects as with the ghosts in Pac Man or draw software sprites, which was only a little more difficult than drawing a fixed playfield.
