Anybody who played on the Atari VCS/2600 can tell you the correct answer... the pause button. Seriously, how many times did I have to throw away a high score run because you couldn't pause Atari games.

Damn.  That's a good one.   I recall many times where I had to do something in the middle of a game and it sucked because there was nothing you could do about it.   The ablity to pause is taken for granted and it's time it received just dues for its contribution to video game progress....literally.

Meh.. Pause is for unskilled people.. How many times did you press Pause during an arcade game?
