No way - you've got it wrong.
Think about it. These computers had 8 bit processors and maybe 16k of Ram (not even 1 Megabyte). The screen resolution was maybe 256 pixels wide by 128 pixels high.
Limited power? Maybe. Fun? Absolutely. My imagination during epic space battles outshined the crude graphics of course, but that was part of the fun.
And of course they don't compare to machines of today, but come on. Xbox 360's wouldn't exist without the Atari PONG.
And of course, ALL of these games owe themselves to the ORIGINAL video game: SPACE WAR. Writen in - holy fuck - 1962 - on a PDP-1. Now THIS was a Fucking Machine!!!!! Now THIS was fucking Programming!
