From Fortune Magazine, November 15, 1982 p. 114 “Video Games: Why the craze won't quit”

 

"Perry Odak, President of Atari's consumer products division 'is promising a console and programs designed especially for people over 45'."

 

Any guesses what this console was supposed to have been? Perhaps just marketing hype rather than a real product? The 5200 was already on the market, and development would only have just barely begun on the 7800.

 

I'm intrigued by the idea of a console aimed at older gamers, Their target audience would seem to be people born in the 1930s.

Planning a video game for 45 old people and older? Why not.
