The Rise and Fall of Atari
Atari Inc. was an American video game and computer company founded in 1972 by Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney. Atari is often credited with bringing arcade games to the home market. Bushnell and Dabney wanted to create coin-operated games, so they joined Nutting Associates to manufacture their products. Bushnell and Dabney created an arcade game called Computer Space, but this game did not do very well. After the failure of their space-themed arcade game, Bushnell and Dabney decided to create a separate venture called Syzygy Game Company. They both provide an initial $250 USD as starting funds. They made sure that Nutting would put a "Syzygy Engineering" label on each of the duo's games to reflect their work on the products.
