The Atari 7800 ProSystem, or simply the Atari 7800, is a video game console re-released by Atari Corporation in January 1986. The original release had occurred two years earlier under Atari Inc. The 7800 had originally been designed to replace Atari Inc.’s Atari 5200 in 1984, but was temporarily shelved due to the sale of the company after the video game crash.
