One day in 1979, during Christmas break, I snuck into my parents bedroom while they were away to see if I could get a peek at what Santa would be bringing. I just knew that this was the year I would be getting that Atari 2600 that I had been begging for on every Christmas and birthday for the previous two years. I slid open the closet door ever so quietly, paranoid that they might hear me even though they were miles away at the time.
Amongst the various shopping bags holding what was obviously Christmas loot waiting to be wrapped, I saw a large box marked Intellivision.
