Tramiel, not Tamriel. Infogrames, not Infogramers. Oh my god, so many errors… Dunno where to start. It would be a lot easier to say what was correct rather than wrong. A car crash of an article.

Exhibit Contents. Fifth Generation The fifth generation era of video game consoles lasted from about to , and is also referred to as the bit era, the bit era, and the 3D era. Nintendo 64 The Nintendo 64 was the only fifth generation console to use cartridges, as well as the only one to offer bit graphics. Previous Section. Fourth Generation Next Section. While the 32X did improve the Genesis and there were some good titles such as Knuckles' Chaotix with its unique cast of popular Sonic the Hedgehog characters who need to make a comeback , the small library of 41 games and only marginal graphical and audio improvements made it an overall critical and commercial failure.
Founded in , Atari was a major pioneer in the video game industry that laid the groundwork for the modern medium. In the '70s and early '80s, Atari was the biggest name in the gaming market. Atari tried to keep their standing in the industry by creating too many consoles and games, which would eventually lead to their destruction.
At the end of its lifespan, Atari developed one last main console that is also usually forgotten, the Atari Jaguar.
Although the Jaguar was marketed as the first bit system, it was actually made from a combination of bit processors. This confusing assortment of parts made it difficult to develop games for the system, which is why there were only 50 official games in total.
Despite the setbacks, the console has maintained a cult following and is still played by diehard fans. After the success of the console Atari , the company released the console, the Atari , as the possible successor of the first console. Using similar technology to Atari's 8-bit computers, the console was a technological improvement, but the positives stop there. The heaviness and chunkiness of both the console itself, the necessary power source, and the strange router-phone-looking controller made it extremely unappealing.
Also, the console had a very small library of games, and most of the games were ports of games. As Atari continued to mass-produce games along with thousands of other developers, the economy of the video game industry would become so dire that it would lead to the crash of When the major electronics company Philips released the Compact Disc-Interactive CD-i in , it was not originally created with video games in mind.
The company wanted the focus to be on edutainment and business software, and video games would just be a side part of the product. Instead, this optical disc data storage unit became known for its list of mostly terrible games. While undeniably primitive by today's standards, the system is responsible for popularizing home video game consoles and laying the foundations for what would become a billion-dollar industry.
Eventually, Atari abandoned the hardware market due to a combination of factors such as the video game crash of the s and the increase in competition from the likes of Nintendo and Sega. Atari nearly met its end in when it filed for bankruptcy, but the classic gaming company was saved by Chesnais who has worked to restore the brand's reputation. Whether or not Atari's new console will restore the brand remains to be seen, but it is certainly going to be interesting to watch.
