Atari’s “Touch Me” Electronic Game in 1979
Yesterday’s Battlestar Galactica newspaper ad also included a slight connection to the Simon game* patent that I shared earlier. You see, the Atari Touch Me arcade game inspired Simon, and then the success of Simon inspired Atari to produce a hand held version of Touch Me. So there it is, a weird connection from the seventies that ties three different battlegrip.com posts together. You’re welcome.
