This is too cool. I’d never really considered that emulators can only go so far in re-creating our experience of playing video games in the (in my case) early 80s on big tube CRT televisions.

I wasn’t actually much of an Atari kid. We got Intellivision instead, which was supposed to be “intelligent television”, whatever that means. My favorite games were Burger Time and Snafu. There were also a handful in our collection that I never figured out, including Blackjack, if my memory serves me correctly.

I’ve often wondered where that old Intellivision ended up. I wanna’ say I got my hands on one YEARS ago (probably 10-15), and it was kind of surreal. But as far as I know, it’s long gone. What a great surprise it would be to find it in my mom’s attic when they move in a few months.
