Inside Atari 50: The First Console War

What it is

Well before the current day console wars dominated social media and message boards, Atari's VCS and Intellivision collided in the first major video game rivalry in 1979. The battle only intensified when Intellivision started making games for the VCS, its fiercest rival's machine! In a series of exclusive interviews, the game makers who lived through the first console war explain how and why this unique chapter of video-game history unfolded.
