**GIVEAWAY NOW CLOSED**
Congratulations to:
#141 Geri S
I grew up in the 80’s and I can still remember playing my first video game……Atari’s Space Invaders! I loved other games like Missile Command of course, but Space Invaders was my favorite. In fact, I remember my dad and I playing the team level where the invaders were invisible. Yep, loved Space Invaders!
Well, I’ve just been taken back to the 80’s (minus the big hair). I received two of the recent packages of Big G cereals from General Mills. They have brought back “Retro” themed packaging featuring Atari games like Centipede, Asteroids, and more! Fun, huh? The back of the boxes have fun activities for kids (of all ages!!).

Participating Cereals include:
- Cinnamon Toast Crunch® (17 oz.)
- Lucky Charms® (16 oz.)

It’s Atari´s 40th Anniversary this year! Yes, I might be the same age.
