Atari Playing cards

Cool.

Didn't Nintendo create playing cards as well? I think it was before they started creating video games.

Nintendo started as a company making Hana Fuda cards. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanafuda

The set of Hana Fuda cards we have, bought maybe 5 years ago, was made by nintendo, so while it's a minor portion of their business they're still pumping them out.

Have to call "fail" on the Pong cabinet = 2600 VCS. All the QA guys must have been laid off.
 
Yeah, I thought about that too.....

Each card suit is a different game.

Clubs--Millipede
Hearts--Asteroids
Diamonds--Breakout
Spades--Centipede

I thought it was lame they did both Centipede & Millipede when there are so many other games in their library.

Oh well....still pretty cool though. She said they were about $5.00.
