===[[wikipedia:Atari_8-bit_family#400/800_release|Atari XEGS800]]===The '''Atari XE Video Game System''' ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_XEGS Atari XEGS]) 800 was based on Atarialso released in November of 's 8-bit 65XE computer, while 79 alongside the operating system for most of the XEGS units is called the XE ROM revision C. That specification is the same as any other Atari computer (i400.eIt retailed for {{Inflation|USD|999. 800/XL/XE) that had that ROM, which is usually why no separate software was needed to emulate this console's hardware95|1979}} with a 6502 CPU at 1. The XEGS is backwards compatible with the Atari 8-bit computer software library. The console could be turned into a computer with its specially designed keyboard MHz and, while in computer mode, use most 8 KBs of RAM. It had the same graphics modes as the peripherals released for Atari's 8-bit computer line400.

There are no games that are XEGS exclusive; instead they all run on ===[[wikipedia:Atari_8-bit_family#1200XL|Atari 1200XL]]===The Atari 1200XL was released in March of '83 and retailed for {{Inflation|USD|899.99|1983}} with a 6502C CPU at 1.79 MHz. It had 64 KBs of RAM with 5 text modes, with the max being 40x24 and the older machines (min being 20x12, and 12 graphics modes, with enough memory) or on the XE/XL line as wellmax being 320x192.
