Atari launched "Touch Me" in
1978, and it would be the first and last product from the
"Atari Electronics Games" division.
Touch Me was a simple game
based on its Arcade game of the same name, where you
follow a pattern of lights and sounds and keep replicating
them to get a high score. The longer you can keep
replicating the computers move, the harder it becomes.
MB Games launched a much more successful version called
"Simon" a short while after the Atari version launched.
Two further products had been
previewed, Space Invaders and Breakout, but they failed to
make it to market, and the division was closed.
