Love that: "Atari Video Computer System".

People forget that at the time "video" was a *very new* addition to computers.

I remember playing Star Trek on the computers at school, but it was via the printer. Every move required a new printout on that wide-carriage dot-matrix printer with the green-bar computer paper.

[sigh]

Woo-hoo! Pitfall! I used to play that all the time! I found I could get a near-perfect score if I went underground, ran left instead of right, and jumped the scorpions instead of running over the alligators. Almost got like 140,000 once but I messed up and bumped a log with 10 seconds left--doh!
