Atari XEGS (1987)ĭespite the Atari 7800 being fresh and not really catching on, Atari went with an interesting strategy of releasing yet another console in 1987. Thank God they came to their senses when it came to their next few forays.
Nearly all their games were in-house because why would you want to work with a third-party developer? Guys like Konami made arcade games. This was also hurt by Sega’s paranoia when it came to working with other developers. Compared to its Nintendo competition, the SG-1000 just could not compete. So what happened? Well, for one, the hardware quality appeared to be somewhere between the Atari 2600 and the Famicom/NES.
