Nolan Bushnell on Atari, 50 years later

It's been 50 years since Nolan Bushnell co-founded Atari, which brought video games to the mainstream. To celebrate, we asked Bushnell what he learned during the early years-and what we've lost sight of since then.

I'm too young to have experienced Atari in its heyday, so I don't have much to add here. I am, however, fascinated by Atari's classic computers, like the 800 or the Falcon, and remember fawning over the Jaguar before growing up and realising what a terrible console and cheap marketing trick it really was.

That being said, I still want a Jaguar.
