The other day I found a nice large picture of an Atari game console. It brought back sweet memories of carefree childhood. Later that day, through some research, I also found some Atari emulators (a small program that turns your computer into an Atari console) along with the entire collection of videogames.
I was one of the lucky few who during 1980 got one of the first Atari systems (there were quite a few of us actually) and still remember how thrilled I was that I no longer needed my friends to have an awesome time in front of the TV set. Trying to figure out the games, console and control was great! The only game I had back then was paddle tennis (it might have been the default game) and asteroids but it did not matter, these simple games were all I needed to forget about my young and uncomplicated life; I spend hours playing them.
