How sad, but it is bittersweet for me. I remember back in the 1970s, that Atari leased a bunch of space on Moffet Park drive, while we (CDC) had the upper floor in the "Prudential building". A number of people dropped in their downstairs offices and asked about employment opportunities and were rebuffed with "We don't hire mainframe programmers." If only they knew that quite a few of those "mainframe programmers' went on to make good in the micro market. So they deserve it because of their narrow-mindedness.
I do remember Pong in its ugly plywood-cabinet version, but to me, the "Race Car" game was far more popular over at Andy Capp's. There wasn't a night that you could get close enough to get your quarter into the slot. I remeber Capp's mostly for its good soups.
