Created article

Space Invaders as an arcade game already has an established article. I decided to be bold and create one unique one for the Atari 2600 for a few reasons. The game has a unique documented development cycle, it has unique visuals and gameplay options, and is an important part of Atari's history (became a system seller, it is on of the best selling games for the system, etc.). I don't think this info should be squeezed into the arcade article as they each have their own unique history. I'll be re-arranging some links in the meantime.
