Okay, I *totally* had this catalog. I remember spending hours going over and over the games, notching the corners of the ones I wanted, keeping it close by.
Of course, the damned controllers - the joysticks, specifically - were always broken, so it was more an exercise in self-induced futility, but hey, those little colored blocks on the screen brought meaning to me at that stage of my life, so what was I to do otherwise? :)
ATARI!!!! Oh how I love retro... I can't remember what the name of my favorite game was...but I think I was some kind of knight shaped like a CURSOR! Ooooh look at my white square swashbuckle!!!
That cowboy is definitely bad-touching Pele.

Atari was the first and last video game system I ever had. Just not a gamer I guess. I prefer board games.
