Then, Atari produced at least some "real"
add-on keyboard units for the
2600. I believe they were originally called "The Graduate", but made it to
market in 1982 as "My First Computer". They had 8K, expandable to 32K, and
apparently saved/loaded from standard cassette units. So does the 2600
become a "real" computer at that point, and/or should "My First
Computer"
be listed instead or separately? (For that matter, the XE Game System,
which is on the list, only becomes a "computer" when the
separately-marketed keyboard is added to it; otherwise, it is strictly a
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
cartridge game machine too.)
Not so . I have one in the original packaging . As well as a
keyboard, it also included a joystck and a "light-gun". It also had a
manual for Atari Basic AND 2 game cartridges.WOW, what a deal. : ^ )
