For the Atari 2600, 1984 was a much more subdued year and the price of the system had now dropped to $40-$50. Many were saying that the video game industry was dead.However, Atari surprised everyone by announcing the release of the 7800, and also promising more 2600 games with improved graphics and sound.nfortunately, neither of these things happened in 1984 because Atari sold their home video game division to Jack Tramiel who believed that home computers would replace video game systems.
