As the Atari Video Computer System turned three years old in 1980, the installed userbase of just over a million consoles had doubled to over 2 million. More consoles meant more gamers, and more gamers meant a growing demand for more games. Keeping up their established pace, Atari released just shy of a dozen new titles during 1980, and while some of their key talent had departed by the end of '79 to form Activision, 1980 would prove to be a breakout year with the release of what would become the console's first killer-app. In this video, I'll be ranking every VCS game Atari released in 1980.
