And Coleco demoed Donkey Kong on the ADAM which may or may not have had any real importance, but in days like these it feels good to point out what Coleco did for gaming history.

Nintendo walked the year before Atari being divided up. In 1983, CEO Ray Kassar left Atari and no one could make a final decision on the Nintendo deal. Good thing Ray Kassar didn't go to work at Nintendo or we would have never seen the NES. He thought video games were just a FAD! Here today-gone tomorrow! Just like he was! How ironic!

It sure would have changed the landscape...I really like to think there's a parallel world somewhere, where all the NES Memories are recast as Atari Memories.
