Or Circus Atari. My brother and sister used to play it and watch the little clown go splat if you didn't guide the platform thingy under them in time. And the sounds were kinda funny. But Space Invaders was always my favorite because of that little farty noise it made when you died. If everyone cared and nobody cried If everyone loved and nobody lied If everyone shared and swallowed their pride Then we'd see the day when nobody died.
