I agree agentclank, of course I grew up on Atari and I'm still gaming today. Younger gamers who weren't around for Atari obviously don't know about it unless they hear about it. So I have to look at it from their perspective as well. But a true gamer owes it to him or herself to know all this.

Atari saw a presentation of the Magnavox Odessey and copied the tennis game... it followed a decade of lawsuits by Ralph Baer against Atari.

I don't believe you can call yourself a true gamer if you don't know about this. The Atari was great.
