They're a bit spendy... but if you can find an optometrist that can fit you for Ipseo progressives (made by Varilux), you won't encounter most of the problems you're experiencing (the distortion area on your peripheral vision is minimal, and very easy to ignore over time).
Also as one of the other posters said, make sure you get lenses that have plenty of vertical height; slim stylish lenses don't give you enough area on the reading part of your lense to do any good.
Lots of great classic gaming events happening in August... a couple weeks after California Extreme, Classic Gaming Expo (now in it's seventh year) will be making its west-coast debut on August 21st at the San Jose Convention Center. There's sure to be even more classic gaming, arcade, alumni and other activities to make this year the best ever.
The displacement you mention didn't occur; the Atari 2600 and Intellivision competed head to head. The Atari 2600 was the clear winner, despite not having the horsepower of the Intellivision. Atari had the arcade licenses everyone wanted to buy.
By the time the Colecovision rolled around, Atari had moved on with the 5200, and the Intellivision had more of the same out (INTV II; smaller console but more or less the same hardware). Coleco was the winner here, for the same reasons Atari won early on.
He might also be thinking of Solvalou, a 3D rail shooter update to Xevious they released around 91/91, or StarBlade (another space shooter, a little earlier). Both very cool games because of the immersive cabinets (they had convex display mirrors that made you feel involved in the game).
Actually, the first version of Bomberman was released on the PC-Engine in Japan.... either in 1988 or 1989. WELL before the Neo-Geo console or MVS came out.

That being saide, the Neo-Geo version DID rock
Said gadget would be the Simon... sold by Bell South, designed by IBM.
The phone had some rudimentary PDA capabilities... but the world's worst reception, and possibly even worse battery life.
