Are you claiming that the Atari 800 was the first popular 8-bit computer or just the first popular Atari computer?
It may depend on where you lived but the Atari 800 was neither the first or most popular 8-bit computer.
I think it could be argued that wasn't the most advanced either, although they were really cool.

- flohofwoe 2y agoThe 800 was released in 1979 which was long before the Speccy, C64, Amstrad CPC and MSX (which I consider the other 'popular' home computers). (ok I forgot about the Apple II (1977) I think that was mainly a 'big in USA' phenomenon)
