The 1987 Atari MEGA series was aimed at the professional user, the machine could be connected to a laser printer, giving the Apple Mac some serious competition, together with its 71hz high res crisp display, the machine could certainly offer "power without the price" . .

If ever there was a product, so iconic, that it epitomised both video gaming culture as well as a brand, then look no further than the Atari CX40, first released in 1978, also the very first cross platform controller . .
