In a nutshell: Atari's 8-bit computers first launched in 1979, selling for between $549 and $999 and taking up the space of a full desktop machine. Now, more than four decades later, a Polish engineer has recreated that same system on a module smaller than a postage stamp. Called Atarino, the device measures just 2 × 1.5 centimeters and includes all the essential components of the original hardware, such as a 6502C processor, graphics and sound chips, and memory controllers.

As We May Think, The Mother of All Demos, The Xerox Alto; all were breakthroughs in thinking about how to make the computer more personal. They were not, however, the true antecedents of the first ‘personal computers’. Instead, that line of descent runs through something much less visionary, capable or expensive: the humble computer terminal. The terminal can claim this role in three ways.

Both games were PlayStation exclusives, but like with God of War and The Last of Us, Sony appe
