==Peripherals==
The XEGS was released in a basic set and a deluxe set.  The basic set includes only the console, and a standard [[CX40 joystick]] with a grey base to match the XEGS rather than its original black. The deluxe set consists of the console, the CX40 joystick, a keyboard which enables home computer functionality, and the [[Atari XG-1 light gun|XG-1 light gun]].  The keyboard and light gun were also released separately outside North America.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://rhod.fr/cons-atari-xe.html |title=Rhod's Collection |access-date=August 24, 2010}}</ref> This is the first light gun produced by Atari, and it is also compatible with the Atari 7800 and Atari 2600.<ref name="ClassicGaming" /><ref name="GameSpotHistory">{{cite web | last1=Herman | first1=Leonard | last2=Horwitz | first2=Jer | last3=Kent | first3=Steve | last4=Miller | first4=Skyler | title = Video Games Are Back 1985–1988 | work = The History of Video Games | publisher = GameSpot | url = http://au.gamespot.com/gamespot/features/video/hov/p6_01.html |url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121118001239/http://au.gamespot.com/gamespot/features/video/hov/p6_01.html | archive-date=November 18, 2012 | access-date = March 16, 2014 }}</ref>
