@Felthry our first instinct was to vote Atari 2600 but we wanted to give Jerry Lawson's old videogame console the shoutout!

...I wonder if we played any of them besides the Atari ... I feel like it's possible but we don't remember.

@Felthry Jerry Lawson - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_La - is one of the engineers involved in the production of the Fairchild Channel F, and widely credited as the father of the videogame cartridge. We don't know much about that history but we wanted to celebrate that innovation.
