The '''Atari XE Video Game System''' ([[wikipedia:Atari XEGS|Atari XEGS]]) was based on Atari's 8-bit 65XE computer and released in the Fall of '87. It was retailed for $159 ($348.47 in 2018 money) and had a 6502C CPU at 1.79 MHz with 64KB of RAM. 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 (i.e. 800/XL/XE) that had that ROM, which is usually why no separate software was needed to emulate this console's hardware. The XEGS is backward compatible with the Atari 8-bit computer software library. The console could be turned into a computer with its specially designed keyboard and, while in computer mode, use most of the peripherals released for Atari's 8-bit computer line.
