The Atari 2600 (known as the Atari VCS before 1982) was Atari's first major game console, released in 1977 in the United States and 1978 in Europe. The Atari 2600 is famous for its wide library of games, the most notable games being Pitfall 1 and 2, Space Invaders, Asteroids, and Adventure. The successor to this console would be the infamous Atari 5200.
