If you want to talk about Renaissance, if he has the very first pong game, where all you had was the 2 controllers attached to one huge brick with a cord connecting it to the TV and the only game you could play was Pong, but came with a bunch of screens to put over the TV screen to make it look like you were playing something slightly different.
Then I will call him a renaissance man.
I stand corrected.
I never really got into those games when they first came out, but I always loved Pong. No one would ever play with me because it was too boring for them, LOL. I don't even remember the screens to put over the TV screen.
Coincidentally, I always loved F-r-o-g-g-e-r, too (had to put the hyphens in so C-D wouldn't censor it). But that one was pretty basic, too.

My friend owns the old pong game. We played it a few times. Was a great time until we discovered women.
yeah, Frog-ger was one of my favorite games on the Atari. I used to play it, Galaga and Donkey Kong all the time.

And if by chance one wishes to go backwards from Renaissance to Neolithic, one could do no worse than to get out their Winky-Dink set and put it over the B&W tube TV.
Ah, the good ol' days - I'd have my special crayons ready and the TV announcer would say "Quick, kids! Winky-Dink is in a real jam - draw him a prophylactic!"

...at least, that's how I remember it ...
Haha, awesome!
The only similar thing I can remember is Hobo Kelly painting with her brush over our "TV screen" and magically a scene would appear. I was so entranced with that, LOL. And her toy machine, how I yearned, LOL...
