I really miss Atari

Like to keep it old-skool
8-bit's always so cool

I used to love my gameboy
First they made it Color
Then they made is smaller
My portable companion
It has been enhanced now
So it's called "Advance" now

Bomberman, Burning Fight, Killer Instinct, Gyromite
Frogger, Basketball, Day of the Tentacle

Made Nintendo cower
They made Super Nintendo
Neither one was hated
Neither dominated

The 3D Revolution
First we saw Playstation
Our infatuation
N64 and Dreamcast
Came along to fight it
But they couldn't smite it

Splinter Cell, Ms. Pac Man, Donkey Kong is back again

New consoles will be coming
But when these are gone
We will still play on and on and on and on...
