Having been a child in the 80s means that I got to play some of the very first video games from which ALL others are made. Pacman, Super Mario and, of course, Space Invaders. The number of hours I spent in the arcade playing it, and shoving 10p coins down its mouth makes me wonder how I ever got any education whatsoever! But I did, and I am very happy and grateful for the time spent playing those classic video games, the education I received and the life path Atari helped me to discover. I have been so inspired by the nostalgia I am feeling for the memories of those times that I thought I would bring you this post.
