Jeff Playing Atari 2600

Anyone else intrigued by the scene where Dahmer is playing Pitfall on a woodgrain Atari 2600 in a grocery store? This was presumably in the late-80s or early-90s and that particular model had probably been discontinued since 1983. Was this actually based on a real occurrence? I grew up in the 80s and I can't say that I remember Atari kiosks at grocery stores . . .

There's a Milwaukee deli that has the Atari system available for play as you wait for your order. It's a pretty well-known Milwaukee staple and likely was around during times consistent with Dahmer's residence.

That's interesting. Does it still have the Atari there today?

Trip adviser reviews of Kappas Deli in Milwaukee say yes.

I cannot.
Yet I must.
How do you calculate that?
