The Resume

    (1986-1982)
    Released by Atari
    Popular games include 'Dig Dug,' 'Donkey Kong,' 'Basketbrawl,' 'Joust' and 'Winter Games

Why Atari 7800 might be annoying:

    It was originally designed to be a PC.
    Like any system, Atari developed after Atari 2600, it bombed almost before it was even released.
    It was only released in response to the success of the Nintendo Entertainment System. Nintendo had close to 90% of the market when it was released.
    Programmers found it frustrating to develop games for it.
    Atari made no attempt to get other companies to develop games for it.
    Unopened games for it can sell for as much as new games released today.

Why Atari 7800 might not be annoying:

    It was affordable.
    At any rate, it was at least more successful than the Atari Jaguar.
