The box images were exciting, and then the games weren't necessarily. I had a conversation about it with another kid round '82. And I think there was something on the news/60 minutes/something about it. I think it was, plain and simple, a matter of hyping the game with pretty box art.
Scifi frauds. SF illuminates.
