Game consoles had been around for a few years now, but the idea was still relatively new. In Dave's dad's opinion, they were a rather useless waste of money that children had done perfectly fine without for several million years. This was, of cause, back in the days before his addiction to technology, gadgits and giant TVs.
Dave's mum, however, saw items that could make her beloved children happy, and possibly busy, and therefore a bargain. And so it was, that Dave and family entered the new age with the state of the art...
Atari 2600.
Or at least, it was state of the art when originally released in 1977.
Sure, the graphics weren't great (or good(or OK)) and the levels were rather limited (usually one single scene), but by George it had some great games. Like a guy riding a chicken battling an army of buzzards.
Fantastic.
