Yes and you would blow in one if the first time wasn’t recognized. They were great sharing the saves too with friends, something that’s missing now unless you go and dig up those save files from your appdata or whatever they are hidden in.

I dug out one of my Ataris and plugged it in for my son to have a shot of a couple of years ago, when he was four.

One of the carts didn't work straight away so he switched the console off again, pulled it out, blew into the edge connector, plugged it back in and gave it a little wiggle to seat it, turned it back on, and set about playing Pacman.

He's never seen me or anyone else do that.

Epigenetics is real, guys.
