The start button back then was called the reset switch. Hit reset when you get to game 13, you'd say. Now where was I? Oh yeah, the game select switch was on the console, which was the style at the time.

Oh yeah, they did put "reset" on it huh? I don't know how they ever came up with that. Everywhere else, "reset" means "device gets zeroed out to its initialization state". The only real reset was to turn the system off and on again. On some of those Atari originals, when you press select one time too many turning it off is the fastest way to start back around again.
