1982 is the year before the video game crash. Also, it marked the first year of Atari's unpopularity (It produced two unpopular games called E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and the Atari 2600 version of Pac-Man). Two primary game systems, the Atari 5200 and the ColecoVision, were released that year.

Examples of video games created in this year

E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial
Pac-Man (Atari 2600 port only)
Donkey Kong Jr. (Arcade, Atari 2600 and Game & Watch port only)
