At first I thought the "US Video Game Team" thing was a joke, but there really is one. http://en.wikipedia....Video_Game_Team

Yeah, Walter's evil plan was to compete against other countries. As you can tell by the Wiki, he's made it his own hall-of-fame kind of thing...

Thx for posting...gives me something to hit him up about when I see him at the end of the month.

That's why we're telling millions of consumers that Atari has reinvented the video game!

I am both a VIDEO GAME EXPERT and an CAPTAIN OF THE ATARI SUPER-GANG and the Atari 7800 is how I choose to enjoy video games. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

There's a few different 7800 commercials with three members of the team. Don was the only one I ever saw on TV. I have somewhere buried the ones with Perry Rogers and I forgot the other guy.

Wait a minute, if that guy is an expert, shouldn't he know that Impossible Mission is impossible to win? He was either lying about playing Atari 7800 games or he was an impostor! Was he really a clone created by aliens to infiltrate the U.S. National Video Game Team? What happened to the real guy? I'm guessing that people who are good at playing video games taste better than other humans. So the real guy was eaten at an alien banquet and his clone was sent here to find the tastiest players.
