He advertised the cartridge on Usenet and in a catalog for game seller Video 61, ultimately selling around 25 copies. He purchased a batch of Atari 7800 Hat Trick games at Big Lots for a dollar or less each and cannibalized the parts. It is a development tool that, after attempting to get Atari interested Dodgson decided to manufacture on his own. The next year, Harry Dodgson released the first hobbyist-produced cartridge: 7800/2600 Monitor Cartridge.

Hundreds of games from dozens of companies have been released for the system, with some selling millions of copies, such as Missile Command and Pitfall!. in 1977 as the Atari Video Computer System or Atari VCS for short.
