I mostly would just like to say thank you so much..
As my name implies I had Juvenile Rheumatory Arthritis and boy did Atari help to distract. Prior to a proper diagnosis (which took 2 years,) I spent a particular special 3 weeks in a hospital for monitoring with 3 times a day blood draws. I only remember it as a positive experience. 95% of which was because the nurses felt bad for me and let me bring in my Atari. I remember spending countless hours playing millipede and breakout with the different nurses as they would change shifts. Being grown as I am, looking back at this thought makes me realize how well I had it - sitting at the end of a bed with a constant supply of all hot (okay my brain may have embellished a bit,) nurses playing breakout and skipping school...
Because of this, breakout and Atari for that matter will always be special to me.
What video games would you say were your favorite from that era? ( please say break out, please say break out.)
Thank you again for the great things you've added to our lives,
