I may be showing my age here; but one of my vivid childhood memories was everyones major anticipation (or geek boner) right before this first came out for Atari, and their subsequent, collective “WTF is this crap!!” reaction once they actually saw the game delivered on the cartridge.

Christ…you took the words right out of my mouth. I gotta laugh when I remember what a cosmic-scale travesty my pre-teen self believed it to be.

That was every atari game…box art was 10 billion times better. I remember one that had robot dinosaurs with jetpacks firing lasers at army men and a dude in a hover-tank is aiming at the T-Rex…the game…a space invaders clone…

For those of you under 40, Atari ports of arcade games were notoriously less awesome than the game they emulated. Pac-man in particular was horrible (they replaced the dots that he eats with dashes. Why? No reason, they just did.).
