 		PXC atari homage?
just reading about the history of video games and noticed a couple of homages/nods to Atari/Nolan Bushnell.

Did you know?:

- orignally Atari was going to be named Syzygy, however the name was already taken by another company so Atari was picked.

- After being ousted out of Atari Nolan Bushnell (Atari co-founder) set up a company called Videa which he later renamed Sente Games, Sente being a reference to Go, Bushnell's favorite game. Sente is the term for "checkmate" in Go.

not really inportant information, just though i'd share it with you all as it made me go "oooooo"
Very Happy
