I was thrilled out of my mind, and I remember how my dad didn't get it, he thought it was a boring, worthless game, not even as cool as pinball. And though there is some truth to that -- pinball at the time was more complex and sophisticated -- it was all about the potential that someday your TV screen could show you anything.
