What are the odds of two of us composing our posts apparently at about the same time listing this little nugget as one of our all-time favorites?!

I’m amazed at how many of us were playing on Atari home computers, as opposed to Commodores or PCs or whatever. Maybe Atari kids grew up into harder-core gamers than C64 kids…Or maybe we’re just smarter. ;)
(I liked when J or Bird would shatter the backboard, and the janitor would grumble maladicta at them. But I would always tire my player out right away, and then miss all my shots.)
