Atari Turns 40: What Was Your Favorite Game?

Caution, Gen-X'ers. You're about to feel older than you ever thought possible.

Atari turned 40 this week.

While that famous console that brought videogaming into mainstream homes and reshaped how kids spent free time wasn't released until 1977, the company and brand were around since 1972.

The classic games that followed would be considered laughable by today's standards, but back in the 1970s and 1980s they were revolutionary. And even today, those primitive yet colorful 8-bit wonders hold a special place in many people's nostalgia.

So we'd like to know, what was your favorite Atari game back in the day? Donkey Kong Jr.? Centipede? Frogger? That iconic yellow ghost fighter, Pac Man?

Leave a comment and take us down Memory Lane with your favorite Atari game. And watch out for the Space Invaders.
