What a great classic. You are right, Atari was ahead of there time. One thing is clear, when the machine was complete and ready for service, it didn't need a software patch to fix a problem.
yep so keep top 3 forever or at least as long as you own the game-----I'm thinking I may never beat my 467k----ive been playing this game for over 35 years
"tele- before vowels tel-, word-forming element meaning "far, far off, operating over distance" (also, since c. 1940, "television"), from Greek tele "far off, afar, at or to a distance," related to teleos (genitive telos) "end, goal, completion, result," from PIE root *kwel- (2) "far" in space or time." So NO! NOT a television set !
