Release and collector context

Source-linked facts

Four-switch — woodgrain is a documented revision of the Atari 2600 hardware family. The source-linked record places this exact physical configuration in Worldwide in 1980 (the exact day and month are not documented). It remains a separate collector item because its model, color, regional presentation, or bundled configuration differs from the parent hardware record.

Research status
Structured source record
01

Release context

The documented release is 1980 (the exact day and month are not documented) for Worldwide on Atari 2600. Date precision is preserved exactly: the archive does not invent a day when the source records only a month or year.

02

Regional differences

This record is scoped to Worldwide. The linked structured source does not document a separate regional title or package difference, so PLAYBACK does not infer one.

03

Physical packaging

The physical format is documented as Revision. The current structured source does not enumerate every insert, manual, sleeve, or bonus item, so no unverified contents are claimed.

04

Editions and revisions

This record represents a revision within the Atari 2600 family, not a separate console generation.
