The Atari History Museum

The release of the Xbox 360 was once again an attempt by the computer and gaming industry to redefine that genre of entertainment. It seems that each new gaming platform makes that claim. Some may be right, and some may be wrong, only time and consumers will tell. But there was, once upon a time, a company that really did set the world on end when it released its products. Today the Warp-o-mat takes us to that company.

The name of the site is The Atari History Museum. This is a site that is dedicated to the company that, for over 30 years (in one form or another), been a leader in both computer development and computer gaming. Many around today won't remember that there was a time before Microsoft dominated the computer world, and there were many competing operating systems and computer hardware vendors. It was an exciting time for both the user and the developers (who many times were one and the same).

Here you can find out an incredible amount of information about the company that gave us Pong, the first computer video game. This site is the culmination of years of research and hard work by enthusiasts with the support of numerous former and current Atari employees and is intended to provide images and information on all areas of Atari. Their mission is the preservation of all things Atari (Its history, products and knowledge). Here they succeed.

This site provides information, images and personal stories on all items produced by Atari as well as news and links to further assist any and all individuals interested in learning more about the company that helped to pioneer and shape many areas of Video Arcade Entertainment, Home Consumer Electronics, Personal Computer Systems and much, much more. You can read article, watch old TV commercials, and more. Having owned several Atari computers, it was a nostalgic site to visit.
