Your last paragraph reminded me of the good ol' days when you could take a picture of your top score on Pitfall! or Spider Fighter and send it in to Activision to get a decal and feel all special and stuff.

Yes, the Activision patch system is what I had in mind when I made the reference in the final paragraph. It was a "clever" nod to the sort of old school players for whom this game is best suited, who I theorize may even read the review. I actually didn't play much Atari as a kid. The 2600 was basically done by the time I became actively aware that video games were an awesome thing that existed, so I never even knew about the patches until after I built this web site and read somewhere--either here or elsewhere--about the program. Too bad for me!
