Before your kids wanted an X-Box, before I wanted a Nintendo Entertainment System, and when Sony was only know for its stereos, not its Playstation, there was the Atari!Now, the toy that brought you Pac-Man, Frogger, Pole Position, and Spaced Invaders, has received the official respect it deserves. The Atari 2600 game system is among the latest toys to be inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame!!
Atari is among this year's three great inductees to the Hall. The other two are the low-tech kite and the Raggedy Andy doll. Other toys in the Hall of Fame include Barbie, Legos, and the Slinky! Slinky! (For fun it's a wonderful toy! It's fun for a girl and boy...sorry, I like the Slinky.)
If you are wondering where the Toy Hall of Fame is located. You can find it as a part of the Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester, New York.
Long Live Pong!
