Unreal History of the Atari 2600

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the it-ain't-no-intellivision dept.

Such_a_geek writes "Atari fans, do you remember playing Gunther Gebel Williams' Cage Cleaner, Typing Tutor, and Peabo Bryson's Cow Tipper on your 2600? How about playing the interactive Foghat 8-track while playing with your Pong action figures? Yeah, me neither. But thanks to this totally fake but quite convincing screenshots in this alternate history of 2600 games, I almost find myself remembering these things."

    Think they still have it?

    I work for a Fortune 500 company, and we can't find the source code to some of our production systems.

    Wait, I shouldn't admit that, should I?
