Description:
Before Call of Duty, before World of Warcraft, before even Super Mario Bros., the video game industry exploded in the late 1970s with the advent of the video arcade. Leading the charge was Atari Inc., the creator of, among others, the iconic game Missile Command. The first game to double as a commentary on culture, Missile Command put the players' fingers on "the button," making them responsible for the fate of civilization in a no-win scenario, all for the price of a quarter. The game was marvel of modern culture, helping usher in both the age of the video game and the video game lifestyle. Its groundbreaking implications inspired a fanatical culture that persists to this day.As fascinating as the cultural reaction to Missile Command were the programmers behind it. Before the era of massive development teams and worship of figures like Steve Jobs, Atari was manufacturing arcade machines designed, written, and coded by individual designers. As earnings from their games entered the millions, these creators were celebrated as geniuses in their time; once dismissed as nerds and fanatics, they were now being interviewed for major publications, and partied like Wall Street traders. However, the toll on these programmers was high: developers worked 120-hour weeks, often opting to stay in the office for days on end while under a deadline.

Fits well and comfortable!
Size: Large, Color: Eggshell White Black Mariner Stripe, Size: Large, Color: Eggshell White Black Mariner Stripe
This shirt fits my husband very well, it is true to size. It is soft and stretchy enough to be comfortable. I bought this as part of a costume but my husband wears it around the house now because it's so comfy.

You get what you pay for
Size: XX-Large, Color: Eggshell White Black Mariner Stripe
Like most of the other reviews here, the shirt runs too small and too short. Material was also incredibly uncomfortable. It also wasn't the color I was hoping it would be, but that's on me for not reading the fine print (eggshell white was very much not white)
If you're looking at this for a certain costume/cosplay idea, it's probably not what you're looking for.

Great tee
Size: X-Large, Color: Medium Grey Heather
It’s a nice cotton material…not thin, just perfect. After washing, it also kept its shape.
