2 . Today, video game consoles (控制器) provide hours of entertainment in homes around the world.However, early in the history of video games the best games were in arcades (游戏机厅). If it wasn't for innovators (创新者) like Nolan Bushnell and his company Atari, video games may have never moved from the video arcade into the home.    1    At that time, computing technology was very expensive and quite limited in its functionality. Still, people were more than willing to deposit a quarter into an arcade console.

Then, developers started to make video game consoles that could be used at home with televisions. The first game systems, like Magnavox Odyssey, were more limited than the systems available in video arcades.    2    Home console games of the early 1970s were often described as board games played on the television.

Hoping to improve on Magnavox's attempt, Atari developed its 2600 home video game console in the late 1970s. After creating some of the biggest video arcade hits, Atari's goal was to bring the feeling of the video arcade into the home.    3    By the early 1980s video games were being played in homes across the world. Atari had changed the entire video game industry.

Sadly, it wouldn't last. Many companies wanted to profit from the home video game trend, so the market was soon flooded with poor quality games.    4    Atari survived for a short time after the crash, but its contribution had come to an end. Japanese companies like SEGA and Nintendo entered the market by introducing new consoles in the late 1980s. These new game consoles offered something not compatible (可共存的) with arcades — longer games that took hours to beat.    5    

A．The 2600 was really a huge success.

B．They also lacked creativity in their game design.

C．Simple programs were all that computers could do.

D．It looked like arcades were the future of video games.

E．This new format secured home video games' position.

F．Video games first grew in popularity in the early 1970s.

G．This led to the sales of consoles decreasing in 1983 and 1984.
