First available in late 1979, the Atari 8-bit computers changed and evolved over the years. Unlike the Commodore 64, which had only two different designs (the breadbox and the 64c), there were 8 (and perhaps 9 depending on the market you look at) different Atari 8-bit models.

What’s the differences? Read on to learn more about the Atari 400, 800, 1200XL, 600XL, 800XL, 65XE, 130XE, 800XE and XE Game System.
