@matigo Kids tend to latch on to a singular instance of something and either raise it to the skies or poop all over it. I think there were a lot of factors that made it the center stage example of where Atari went wrong, but it really gets more than it deserves.
More modern crap like the aforementioned Rise of The Robots, and Big Rigs: over the road racing should get at least as much, if not more flak for their shittyness.
