What really happened in 83 was that a number of companies (most notably Atari but others too) who had vastly overestimated demand for their hardware and software suddenly found themselves unable to sell all that product they had produced and got seriously hurt.

In fact, the "crash" of 83 actually benefited the market for home computers as people started to buy things you could use for more than just playing games. (spreadsheets, word processing, financial stuff, educational software etc)
