I just found out that only one Atari Keypad controller that I own still works. In the late 1990s, I picked up 6 of them for 6 dollars, and cannot say I really use them all that often. So when I decided to fire them up to play Brain Games this weekend, I was surprised to find that each one had at least one button broken, except one. I have since moved that controller out of my controller box to a safer spot. Not that I really need to, I only own 2 games that use the Keypad, neither of which I will usually go out of my way to play. One of those is the 1978 Larry Kaplan game,
