It’s about pixel tweaks to Atari’s “World Cup Football” game. Maybe the price is high, but it’s an early example of Steve’s eye for detail in the user interface of the software he was working on. Pretty historically significant if you as me. Some might balk at the $27,500 selling price for the Steve Jobs memo, but it does have value.
