Thanks again to Rob Clarke who sent me a C116 in beautiful condition, A Joystick which I never thought I would see again, and a Jack Attack cartridge which was the one game we had going at the CES show when we demo'ed the TED/C116/264 series. The C116 had a sleek design and features ahead of their time considering the price tag of $49. There is even a reason we went to DIN connectors for the Joysticks but you have to watch the video to find out why.
- Case Design: Ira Velensky
- Chip Design: Bruce Ahearns, Dave DiOrio, Eric Chow Yan Yang, Bob Raible
- Hardware: Bil Herd, Dave Haynie
- Software: Fred Bowen, Terry Ryan, John Cooper, Hedley Davis
In addition to the really cool collection of old C116 stuff, Rob also sent a Christmas Card done on a C116, which proves we really did make pixels this way, way back when.

Thanks for sharing. It's always great to hear some insider stories from the "old" days :-)
