Quite an oddity this, in 1981, Atari were going to expand their presence in the US by opening a chain of stores, which were a combination of a virtual theme park and game store, quite ambitious for its time.

Unfortunately, the North American video game crash put an end to such plans. But it's an idea that could be worth going back to, especially with Virtual Reality finally taking off.

BTW It is me, Guru Larry running this channel, so I've not stolen my own video :P
