The Atari "Keyboard Controller" was a unique peripheral that added depth to certain Atari 2600 games, like Star Raiders and Warlords. In Star Raiders, the keyboard enabled quicker access to in-game commands, like ship navigation and weapons control, making the space combat more immersive. In Warlords, it allowed for easier control of the paddle-based gameplay, improving precision. How do you think this peripheral shaped the gaming experience for these titles? Would these games have been as enjoyable without it?
