Atari's Second Building
Mar/07/08 00:22
Atari started in a small workshop building, and
needed a place to build Pong machines. They found
this old Roller Rink in Santa Clara. It's on Martin
Ave, near Scott Blvd. Al Alcorn, who designed Pong,
said "When we got it it was an old roller skating
rink. I remember the hardwood floors.
Before we moved in I took my Triumph 650
motorcycle for a spin inside. I almost fell due
to the film of dust on the slick hardwood floor."
It's currently for sale for $3.8 Million.
