And here's a bonus ... we find the WORST cartridge game, then we see who wants to remake it as something good.

Google the 4K Pac-Man Atari 2600 for an example... Using the same memory limits of the original release, someone was able to do a very good Pac-Man -- one that COULD have been done then, given more time (or better developers?).

I still remember the huge full page spread ad in a Houston newspaper for Pac-Man when it was coming out for the 2600.
