It wasn’t the first video game console, but the Atari 2600 was the first system to bring video games into the home, and though its titles were limited to a paltry 2 to 4 K (that’s kilobytes: it takes 1,024 of them to make a megabyte, and a 1,024 of them to make a gigabyte!), the console’s influence on the industry is long and undeniable. Now, thirty years after its introduction, the Atari 2600 console has been inducted into the Strong National Museum of Play Toy Hall of Fame, joining classics like Barbie, G.I. Joe, Play-Doh, the View-Master, Lego, Tinkertoys, checkers, Scrabble, Monopoly, and Silly Putty.
