The Atari 1300 was a very early gaming system created by Atari officially launched to great initial malaise in 1969. It was apparently derived from the top secret, but assumed to be more primitive, Atari 650 project codenamed: Capricorn. Early development began in 1968 when Nolan Bushnell, hopeless Space War addict that he was, wanted to translate that game's time sink properties to a home version that did not require a million dollars worth of equipment to use. The "1300" designation indicates the number of dollars spent developing the prototype. To indicate a progression in technological sophistication, future Atari consoles would be multiples of this amount (see Atari 2600). The system discontinued in 1977.
