I was kind of hoping this was a remake of Kaboom! the Atari game. It was one of the first games that I "mastered". I made my mom take a photo of me in front of the TV with my high score. IIRC you could send it in to Atari and get a badge of some kind. Or maybe it was a patch for your jeans - remember them?
Anyhow, the photo came out horribly because she used a flash. You couldn't see my score on the TV. It was just a bright reflection of the flash bulb.
I'm not sure I've ever gotten over that. What could have been... How my life would be different... If only I got to go to school with my shiny Kaboom! badge or patch or sticker or whatever it was. The kids would have cheered. The principal would have given me the day off. I could have been somebody!
