Atari computers were founded by two friends Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney in 1972. He gained massive popularity with the hearts of customers through the game PONG, created on the machines; the product success was enormous. 

With the growing demand for the game, Atari has increased the employment of a large number of people. Unfortunately, the company made the mistake of not patenting the game, which quickly found the interest of people to create fakes. Atari fiercely defended his brand by creating other games, e.g., Breakout. Building a home version of Pong turned out to be a hit, thanks to which the goods disappeared from store shelves at an enormous pace. The players connected the device to the TV and could enjoy the fun previously known only from slot machines. Unfortunately, the company was unable to return to the top producers of gaming equipment in later years. Many say that while it wasn’t bad at the time of competing with the Amiga, the final nail in the casket turned out to be the dominant devices of the time, such as PlayStation, Nintendo 64 and Sega Saturn.
