  • First!
  • I'm the dude!
  • My first gaming system. And home to the worst game of all time, E.T. I hated that game...
  • Yay! Now let's eat some cupcakes...
  • Dear Lord, Pong is 40 now?
  • Mod
    Deja Vu? Just today I was talking with some fellow gamers about Atari and Pac-Man...and then you post this. Weird.
  • So it celebrates 40 years of their history except that one year ET release. No one wants to remember that.

    EDIT: DOuble post?
  • atari has been long dead, and only exist in name alone today.

  • Why don't they mention the roller rink of ex convicts and drug addicts assembling 2600 cartridges and shooting up in the bathroom?
  • I would love a shot at that Asteroids poster signed by Nolan Bushnell. Not enough to give away my personal info through those Facebook app/sweepstakes though. Still, love Atari. I had a 2600 and 5200 up until maybe two years ago when I moved. My cousin inherited them. Here's to hoping Atari sticks around for another 40 years, and then some!

  • That's cool. I want some of those prizes.

  • Hmm... Sucks for Atari that they're still on software business. And besides, Atari made some bad systems back then. Liiiike...
  • Good for them, they really made video games what they are today.

  • ATARI FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WISH YOU 40 MORE YEARS!!!
  • Most of their games suck.
