Hi Brad, it is an early proto design of the Atari 1200XL computer
system. The "Hersey" bars are the footprints for the VLSI chips -
6502C, Antic, GTIA, Pokey, MMU, associated TTL's and RAM.

Oh, I was *afraid* you where going there :-) that sure looks like a
coin-op game to me!
but what the heck are those 5 big Hershey bars?
i can't tell from that photo, but it looks like there might be enough
logic for some line ram and counters, maybe a cpu but I don't see any
stacks of eproms for stamps or background.
what ever it is the graphics can't be too magical.
so, what is it? :-) i'm guessing it's not pong, becuase it has a cpu.
