This entire 1982 gaming magazine is asking to be scanned, there's a whole section comparing all the systems (Atari, Intellivision, Odyssey2, Astrocade (?) and the nascent Colecovision.
Despite the ad copy, Vectrex was never on anyone's radar, although the concept of a portable vector-based system seems pretty cool in retrospect.
The extreme excitement portrayed by the people in this in ad borders on mania. However, it still has resonance, my 7 year old saw this ad and asked me why everyone was looking at each other and not the game. Good point.
The Atari 400 and Atari 800 were released in 1979. The 800 was the higher-end model and the one I grew up with.
I spent many afternoons and weekends with this machine, typing in BASIC programs from magazines and playing games. BASIC was the first programming language I learned, and I learned it on this machine.

"She doesn't know how and will not have the chance to live her childhood. It was taken away from her by the war and destruction of Syria. A child's vision in Za'atari Camp is different from the vision of other children in the world. The child in the camp looks at the very far horizon so that she could find a way out of this situation and carry on with her life – like the other children. Play, joy, happinness, friendship, childhood."
Photographer's profile
My name is Rhagda and I am from Damascus. I'm 14 years old. I want to be a lawyer and I like drawing pictures.
Background
More than a million Syrian children have been forced to flee the conflict in their homeland.
Growing up in exile, sometimes orphaned or separated from loved ones, they are often haunted by violence and loss – but also resilient enough to envision better days ahead.
"Do You See What I See" let young refugees – now living in Jordan and Lebanon – shine a light on their world and share it with others.
Through workshops led by photojournalist Brendan Bannon and organised by UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, they learnt to capture their observations in a striking photograph.
In these words and images they reveal loss and longing, hope and fear, simple pleasures and complex emotions.

Iman, a 38-year-old Syrian woman from Jordan’s Al-Mafraq governorate is a beneficiary of the ‘Spring Forward for Women’ project. She benefited from one of the revolving loans provided by UN Women and was able to fund her small home appliances shop.
Spring Forward for Women (SFW) is an initiative implemented by UN Women country offices across the Southern Mediterranean region, funded by the European Union. The primary focus of the project is to encourage the effective participation of marginalized women in economic and public life by addressing the barriers that have impeded their engagement in these areas. The project has targeted four areas within Jordan’s Al Mafraq Governorate, an area north-east of Amman where women’s unemployment and poverty rates are particularly high and further perpetuated by the presence of Syrian refugees.

We still have Anne's original 2600 from 1977. I couldn't get it to start up, so we used the Atari Flashback and decorated the television (which we put on the floor, naturally) with a bunch of classic Atari 2600 carts.

Well I received an Atari 2600 for Christmas, so I'm going to try and make it out of Legos, and I decided to start with the controller. I think it turned out really well.
