When I first saw

When I first saw the walk/don’t walk people used on Antwerp’s traffic lights, they reminded me of the Atari 2600. Later, I figured out that they reminded me specifically of the killer robots in Berzerk. When I was a kid, I used to go over to my friend’s house and we would play Berzerk, Choplifter, and Stampede on his Atari for hours on end.
