I was at the Silverball Museum in Asbury New Jersey and they have a working Atari Pong video game from 1972 which you can play today.

The nice thing about Atari video games is that they used the 6502 a lot. Not for Pong of course. And, actually, for me the nice thing was the vector graphics.

Shouldn't this topic be marked off-topic? There was no 6502 in 1972.

Looks like Atari made as many as 40 video games before they started using microprocessors (specifically, the 6502, in 1976)

(Even Breakout is a TTL machine, whereas Super Breakout is a 6502 machine.

They also used the 6800 in the same timeframe
