They gifted folks with one of their mini tubes mounted to a tie clip. Once upon a time vacuum tube volt meters had hot dog like probes that felt warm. Inside was a tube that was responsible for the high input impedance. Techie jewelry started many decades ago at EIMAC. They gifted folks with one of their mini tubes mounted to a tie clip.

There really is nothing special about a plastic case 24 pin DIP memory rom.There is really nothing to link it specifically to an atari 2600 as this (like other) parts was used widely in electronics. imho they chose the wrong part.

Sigh. Life is not as simple as it once was, but the effervescent joy of the run-on sentence lives on. @11, you wouldn’t be so cavalier if your childhood’s most valued possession was an Atari 2600 and your dad knew this guy who worked for Activision and was able to supply me with raw chips just like these (except not gold) that I could insert into a case-less Atari cartridge that I could then very carefully insert into my 2600 using a tiny flathead screwdriver to open the slot and play those Activision games until the web between my thumb and forefinger was blistered all to hell and it was all free, no charge, because I was a pre-teen software pirate, so bittorrent eat your heart out.
