Well That's Just Ridiculous

Nolan Bushnell, the man who founded Atari, is described here as taking the position that, where video games are concerned, it's all been downhill since Pong. Of course, he doesn't really say any such thing, and with good reason.

Everybody knows that it's all been downhill since QBert.

Just went to Wikipedia and read up on Bushnell. After cofounding Atari he went on to start Chuck E. Cheese. Interesting guy.

And, yes, Qbert rocks.

It's 4-way diagonal joystick makes it a lot of trouble to emulate - but if you like the game as much as I do, its worth it.
