The Atari was the closest thing just about anyone at the time had to a personal computer. This was almost 30 years ago, a time when hand held calculators were considered a luxury and could cost well over $500. I hate being old. @Kaeyne: “Seriously, have people of that time been so easily impressed by computers?”

And look - wow! You can make corrections and shove words around! Seriously, have people of that time been so easily impressed by computers? And it's fun to see the other junk that has been available to buy for this classic console. Now we know that Nintendo weren't the only ones with stupid accessory like *cough* PowerGlove *cough*. ;-) “The Atari may make the typewriter obsolete.” xD

The E.T. game was terrible, I begged my mom to get it then after about 10 mins I asked her to take it back, I got grounded. Another weird game was the Hide 'n Seek game for the Atari. But the absolute best game was Spider Fighter. I remember about half of these commercials.
