Back in the old days, we didn't have any of this Achievements nonsense. When we beat a certain score or time or level, we had to take a photograph of the television screen, hope the photo was clear enough that you could see the score/time (no digital photography back then), get the film developed, mail the photo to the game publisher, and 6-8 weeks later we'd receive a patch in the mail. That's the way it was and we liked it!

(I know I have a few others from Grand Prix, Kaboom!, and Chopper Command. I just need to find them...)

Play Well

(October 2019 — March 2020)

‘Play Well’ explores how play transforms both childhood and society. Using displays of historic toys and games, artworks and design, this exhibition investigates how play develops social bonds, emotional resilience and physical wellbeing. The exhibition includes: images of children at play in the street, in playgrounds and beyond; makeshift and commercially produced toys; digital games and a larp (live-action role play) space by artist Adam James.

Atari Video Computer System Game Release Dates by Mats Peterson

I have taken the liberty to edit the list of Atari Computer Video System game release dates at Atari Archive, adding hyperlinks to images on Flickr among other things. There are only images for a selection of games, but I hope the document can prove useful to someone in spite of that. It can be found here.
