Description:

From as far back as I can remember, my sister and I used to love playing on my dad's old Atari, the sounds, the crazy colours and retro patterns would give us endless hours of fun.

Some of our favourites were: Asteroids, Pac-man, Pong, Dig Dug, The Smurfs, Donkey Kong, Space Invaders, and the awesome Jungle Hunt!

Compared to todays games they are pretty basic and crude, but I still love to play them and they still have so much appeal that their simplicity and psychadellic visuals are why they are still so popular.

Even the console itself and the controls are pretty darn cool still and bring back so many good memories for me. Note: I loved the Smurfs game, even the fab clinky music, but was always PETRIFIED of level 2 when the crow came with that horrible 'squark' uuurgh.

Aaaanyway, for this swap we will make a set of 3 ATCs for 1 partner, each card themed to one of the games.

Check out this comprehensive list of the games with links to more info on each. Clips from most of them can also be found by searching on Youtube and if you don't still have an Atari, but want to reminisce, then I highly reccomend doing this!

Please be sure to include the title of the game you portray somewhere on the front of the card.

Ususal ATC rules apply and I am giving loads of time for this so please just enjoy and make a set of cards that you would love to receive =D

Let the gaming commence!
