Leonardo DiCaprio to star in 'Atari' June 06, 2008 The ubiquitous actor-producer has just become attached to star in "Atari," a pitch that writers Brian Hecker and Craig Sherman sold to Paramount on Friday about the godfather of the video game industry, Nolan Bushnell. Bushnell was an engineering student, puzzle-lover and game enthusiast (chess, Go, early computer games) who went from fixing broken pinball machines to launching Atari Corp., a video game manufacturer, in the early '70s.
Atari did not destroy it. 3rd party terrible games did. Atari did not have a way to control the market or what games were made for the system. Nintendo learned that lesson and had a process and a chip that would only play approved games so every game for the Nintendo was a good game.

Thank you, brilliant childhood
HSW wrote ET, yeah. But also Yars' Revenge, which was gnarly!
Lol, I love how they went from "they were getting stoned in the bathroom" to "it was a family friendly environment" in about ten seconds.
Awesome.
Nolen is brilliant!
