Honestly, the cartridge system was a (pardon the pun) game changer. Sure someone did it first but Atari really made it main stream. It allowed for a lot of what we see today. Sure you were dropping what was about a $1,000 in today's money on a toy for you and your kids but you could play so many games on it.
The idea that you had a machine in your living room that you could change what it did just by putting in a new cartridge was mind breaking in the 70's. Sure your TV could play 5 or 6 channels maybe but it still was a TV, getting a Atari made it a home entertainment system. The whole one machine that did so many different games paved the way for the whole home entertainment universe we have today.

The Nightmare Before Christmas is family tradition. Going to throw in the first Goosebumps movie with Jack Black. It's not a great movie but it's still way better then I expected it to be. Still looking for some more kid friendly Halloween movies though.
