ATARI 51years ago! (+your childhood included I assume!) 

Here's my own animated creation using stock graphic of a cassette + animating it.

As a "cheers" to Atari, and homage to what I kind of kinda literally 'LOOP'ed into... (I had nothing better to play with... and then PC came along an well whadda know still using that too!)

Atari name comes from the Japanese term atari, used while playing the ancient board game Go.
(bet you didn't know that!)

And that it was an American company with Japanese sounding name ?

The word atari means "to hit a target" in Japanese and is associated with good fortune; in Go, it indicates a situation where a player will be able to capture one or more stones of the opponent in the next move.

😃 The company fizzled and perhaps Amiga was better but what a storm all that time was!
