Ranking EVERY Atari Console From Worst to Best

While Atari may not be the company they once were, their historical value alone is difficult to summarize quickly. Telling that story with every Atari console ranked from worst to best will show you just how much the company achieved — and ultimately failed at.

The first company to launch a successful home console, Atari effectively built an industry through the 1970s with their home Pong console. Hundreds of Pong machines from just as many companies flooded the market, but Atari stayed ahead of virtually everyone by releasing the revolutionary 2600. The world was never quite the same again.

Regrettably, as the 80s came and went, poor decisions and an industry crash would hobble and eventually destroy Atari in its original form. Every Atari console ranked from worst to best creates a narrative of a company that got too greedy and made too many mistakes. Atari lives today but is mostly a home for nostalgia. There’s nothing wrong with that really, but as we look at every console Atari ever released to market, it’s hard to shake the wish that Atari could have remained at least a competitor with the likes of Sega and Nintendo.
