Yesterday was the 40th birthday of the Atari gaming system.  I had one when I was a kid. I actually had Pong before the Atari.  I loved my Atari.  My brothers and I played for hours and hours much to the dismay of my parents.  Technology back then was amazing but obviously compared to todays gaming systems, it's laughable.  I remember the basketball game was a one on one game with each player being a stick figure bouncing a sqaure shaped basketball.  I remember the game Combat where you were a tank fighting another tank.  I remember the football game where it was three on three and very basic.  The other game I remember most was the game Maze Craze.  You were a spider in a maze and had to find the end in the quickest time.  We all thought it was truly amazing when Pac Man came to Atari.  It was the coolest thing.  haha I loved my atari.   Did you have an Atari?  What games did you have?  johnny@1045thefox.com
