    This week was an eventful one.

    I had a visit from a distant relative and her husband living in the US (I'm in Malta, Europe). To cut a long story short, it turns out that her husband is Bob Brown, responsible for the Atari 2600, bringing the first version of Pong to the home, Activision amongst other things... I barraged him with questions for a couple of hours and he was very nice and obliged with answers.

    He also accepted to sign my Atari 2600. I am posting his answers on this local forum here - http://retrogm.org/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=379 (my nick there is Nostromo).

    I tought it was a good idea share that =)

    Hopefully I will meet him again before he goes back so I can take a few pictures with him :congratulatory:
