How to celebrate heritage in style - Atari Style

Ask most male twenty/thirty somethings what Atari means to them and you'll usually get a look of long lost love. The Atari was the original pioneer of home video games, starting with classics such as Pong and then releasing the iconic 2200 system in the mid 80s. The 90s saw the release of the highly acclaimed Lynx and the fore-runner to more sophisticated gaming, the Jaguar. Neither saw widespread success however and Atari faded before being brought into the Infogrames corporation. The company now focusses on distrubution and publishing but can definitely be credited with starting the home entertainment revolution way back in 1972.
