They ran out of names and they all were identical except for their clothing.

Yeah.

And then I think you also had parents beating the drum of, hey, and Atari wasn't really coming out with, you know, the new systems weren't that great.

As far as I know, right?

Wasn't their head different?

Or was it the same face for each one?

The 2600 and the 5200 came along.

It was literally just their clothes were different.

You know, I don't know.

I mean, rather the 5200 followed up and it was just okay.

I'm going from my own memory, which is that they were all the same dude and they were all Frank O'Harris.

So they needed, something needed to happen.

And that thing that needed to happen was Nintendo.

Well, they came up with an African-American one at one point in the late 60s, I think.

Yeah, and also at the same time, one of the other things that had ushered, helped usher out video games was the personal computer starting to come into the world.

Yeah, yeah, they changed with the times.

But to my recollection, those original dudes, and maybe I got in on the second wave.

And with the personal computer, you could, like, do your taxes, your kid could, like, practice math, and they played games on floppy disks, too.

Maybe the original 60s ones were different.

But I only knew Frank O'Harris.
