Video Not Working? Fix It Now

Behind the cartridge is a series looking at how games on specific consoles work. A lot of the earliest video game consoles had proprietary systems and methods of game design. By partnering with Homebrew Developer and Programmer ECDHE (Krull on the Atari Network Discord) we will present each of these console one at a time, using his patent examples and game examples to provide visual aids. Thank you to EDCHE for spending his time working with me on this! This edition of Behind the Cartridge we will be looking at the Atari 2600, formerly known as the Video Computer System (VCS)!
