The Atari 2600 came out in 1977. Originally known as the VCS or  Video Computer System, it was renamed to it's catalog number  (CX-2600) in 1982.
For the Atari 2600, 1984 was a much more subdued year and the price of the system had now dropped to $40-$50. Many were saying that the video game industry was dead. However, Atari surprised everyone by announcing the release of the 7800, and also promising more 2600 games with improved graphics and sound.
