I'm gonna say ✅. Not 100% on that, but pretty sure.
That said, here's photos of the very first Xbox console ever produced, signed by Bill Gates. It's at the Microsoft main campus in Redmond, Washington.

Here's mine:
Atari 2600
Coleco Adam
Atari 5200
NES
Game Boy
(BIG gap due to Poor)
PS3
Xbox One
Switch
Atari VCS
Xbox One Series X
A handful of minis (NES, SNES, Genesis, PS1) and some plug-and-plays
I still have most of them and try to dust them off and play every so often. Still a fun time.

Easy. Just wait for the interviewer to ask: "Can you give an example of a challenge you've faced, and how did you overcome it?"
(I'm an engineer, but I've sat in on a LOT of interviews, LOL.)

That was ET. Meanwhile, Pac-Man remains the best selling 2600 cartridge of all time (8M+ units), so it wasn't that one for sure.

My understanding is that most of it was Atari management's decisions. Only giving HSW 6 weeks to make it, then making way too many copies, then being surprised by a lot of people returning a game that was cranked out in 6 weeks. All that unsold inventory was a financial quagmire that took them down.

Ooh! That's the one where they got the voice added, right? So how is it?

Game, not "hang." Ugh

Small world... Just yesterday, I got a loose physical copy of this hang (very good condition) at a store for $5. Never played it, but the label looked interesting, I suppose. Can't watch now (meetings) but will definitely check this out in a couple hours. Thanks!

Side note: I tried to go live about half an hour ago, but lost all my audio... But really, WOULD it even be my show without technical hiccups?

So after restarting everything in my Internet chain, still seeing 80% frame drops. Ran another speed test, I'm only getting between 4 and 5 Mbps upload speed. Hopefully Comcast takes their finger off the "suck" button soonish.
