Although it never drew as many quarters as Atari's other arcade hits, Gotcha (Atari, 1973) holds a special place in videogame history for being the first puzzle videogame. The two-player cabinet saw gamers chasing each other through ever-changing mazes.
The original "breast-like" controllers and sexually charged marketing campaign sparked controversy in the media and earned Gotcha the nickname “The Boob Game”.
