Image:Atarilogo.png The Atari Video Music was introduced in 1976 and designed by the initiator of the home version of PONG, Robert Brown. The idea was to create a visual exploration that could be implemented into a Hi-Fi stereo system. As the legend goes, when Atari was on tour promoting the device, a Sears representative asked what they were smoking when they invented it. With that, a technician stepped forward holding up a lit joint. Devo used one as a background in the video for "The Day My Baby Gave Me A Surprise". The unit never gained enough popularity and was in production for only a year. The Atari Jaguar CD used the same engine for its visualizer when an audio CD was inserted.
