Oldest of the companies is Atari, so it's on the top shelf.
Atari was formed in 1972 by Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney, with Al Alcorn soon coming on as chief design engineer. Although the first location was in an industrial park at 2962 Scott Boulevard, Santa Clara, Atari later had both corporate offices and manufacturing in Sunnyvale. Most Atari equipment was produced in various locations in Asia, but the Pong consoles, the paddle controllers and some early console systems were produced in Sunnyvale.

One of my hobbies is collecting retro-computers, focusing on computers made by Atari. But I also have a few game consoles made by Atari.
The Atari Lynx was originally designed by Epyx, but Atari stepped in and helped with production and marketing when Epyx ran out of money. It was released in 1989.
I bought my Lynx second hand sometime in 1996-1997 with a nice collection of games and a Comlynx-cable.

Donor machine. This board actually has traces that are peeling off the back - and that's before I've had at it with an oven and iron.
