First came video games like the Odyssey, Atari, Intellivision, Bally, etc... 
Now there is Nintendo and Sega... 
Here are some predictions of future video games... 
 
-A game that you throw bottles of liquor at the screen to your 
        opponent ... Gin-tendo. 
 
-Or one that uses naked porno stars for characters ... Skin-tendo. 
 
-One that instead of using the ROB robot, you plug into your dog's 
        mouth ... Rin Tin Tin-tendo.
 
-Or drop into your fish tank ... Fin-tendo. 
 
-And one where you shoot at religious figures as they walk through the 
        convent ... Nun-tendo.

8.1CURIE::DECARTERETJason DeCarteretMon Nov 02 1987 18:3410
      Has anyone out there seen that stupid comercial comparing the
    Nintendo to the Atari (780 I think it is).  They say that Nintendo
    only has about 100 cartriges where as Atari is supposed to have
    hundreds.  And they say that Atari comes with a better gun.  And
    they say the Atari has MUCH better graphics while they show a game
    on which the graphics stink.  One advantage though is that tha Atari
    can be used as a computer too.  
      I was thinking.  Mabye that slot underneath the Nintendo is for
    the optional keyboard?

8.2Atari must be worriedBCSE::SCOPAThe MajorTue Nov 03 1987 13:427
    Yeah Jason,
    
    I've seen that commercial and I can't understand why Atari made
    that commercial....I'll bet the Nintendo folks love the fact that
    their product is mentioned in a competitor's ad.
