The '''Atari 7800''' was released by [[Atari]] in [[1986]] (a test market occurred in [[1984]]). The 7800 was designed to replace the failed [[Atari 5200]] shortly after the video game market crash of [[1983]] and was supposed to re-establish Atari's market supremacy. Atari learned from their mistakes with the 5200 and used digital joysticks, included full software compatibility with the [[Atari 2600]], and released the 7800 with an affordable price. | The '''Atari 7800''' was released by [[Atari]] in [[1986]] (a test market occurred in [[1984]]).
