Developed by Emerson Radio Corp., the Arcadia 2001 is another ill-fated second generation console which tried to jump on the game market bandwagon of the early 80s. Created to be the next Atari 2600 killer, instead the Arcadia 2001 ended at the bottom of bargain bins, being dead just a year after its release and just before the Great Crash.
Most of its small library is made up of poor clones of successful games of the time, mostly because Atari sued Emerson for doing unauthorized ports.
