[reassembled]

Did Atari have a haunted house game with a physical screen overlay? My mom’s late brother, Robert Padilla III, used to work at Atari in the 70s and she seems to remember him bringing home “an Atari” to play “pong” and “haunted house”. She said there were overlays that you would stick to the screen. But perhaps he brought home an Odyssey console? Sadly I’m not able to ask him to clarify as he passed away after a long later career at NVIDIA.

I don't know, but it sounds like the Odyssey. Both were relatively close in time - 1972...sorry, about your uncle. Sounds like he was on the early adopter curve like my Dad. We were dirt poor, and yet my Dad somehow pulled this off (probably hit the triple at Aqueduct!).
