The Atari 2600 turned 50 last year. But that doesn’t mean I’ve stopped celebrating the greatest video game console of all time. And I even bought myself a little something to join in on the fun: The Atari Adventure Limited Edition cartridge. Now if you had an Atari growing up, no doubt you owned Adventure.

When Marvel Studios announced it was doing an Ant-Man movie, I merely shook my head. Don’t get me wrong, I love Ant-Man and all the various incarnations of the character from the comics. But, well, he’s Ant-Man. A totally obscure, almost silly character. How on Earth was Marvel going to make a good Ant-Man movie? Well, they did.
