I read about this one, and chuckled about the stupid comment that it was
barely powerful enough to run Pong giving its limited memory (8k).
Most of the games back in the day were around 8k. Think about all the Atari
cartridges. I'm personally thinking of the TI-99 modules that only allowed
8k ROM (albeit they could have GROM), but many of them were a single 8k ROM.
And they were much better than Pong.
