	I would actually be curious to know what kind of stuff actually
	were used in home video games.  Processors, graphic chips, sound chips,
	amount of memory, etc.  Anyone know this info say for:

		Simple "Pong" games
		Atari 2600
		Atari 7800
		Mattel Intellivision
		Nintendo
		Sega Genesis (and whatever it's precursor was called)

	I don't have any of these so I can't open 'em up and look, but
	I was wondering what kind of technology progression made it in
	home video games...
