He said phhhht, who'd pay to play a stupid electronic game on a screen, its not even a real game.

2 years later... the first atari machines showed up....
I was pretty young but only if...... haha. sigh.

I see the same chances for 2 more ideas I have but I have seen them touched on in mainstream movies so its not original. But hey, no one makes em yet so.......
That's funny but sad at the same time. Yeah, Atari did pretty good lol. Nowadays you don't even have to make it, just patent it and your set. Someone else will build it and you can collect big time.
