*Why am I focusing specifically on Atari games? Look up the names I listed, amazing the creative and *fun* games they were responsible for! So many of quarters during my adolescence and teen years... Thanks, guys, for the pure gaming joy that is rarely experienced these days!
Man, this is a great list. How'd I miss it before I don't know!
