Released in 1972, this console had a very odd controller which only had one button, which was the reset button. There were two dials on the sides of the console to control the game.

This was a time that really started making “slang”. “Cool” and “far out” was the new word for everything that was fun and awesome. Instead of saying can you understand you would say “can you dig it?” Besides language and new technology, music was very contributing to our culture today. The music of this time changed music forever. It was the “rock and roll” era of all time. Bands such as Fleetwood mac, rolling stones, the who’s and
