We are asking you to reflect on how valuable you find our offerings, whether you believe in arcade, coin-op, and video-game preservation, and whether you would be able to give at least $5. If you have given in the past and we still provide you with value, please kindly donate again. If you have never contributed, please consider joining our efforts today. If everyone reading this gave just $5, we'd be well on our way to reaching our goals. All that matters is that you choose to support our preservation efforts. Every contribution helps, whether it's $2 (a common first donation), $5 (the most common donation amount), $12 (the average), $20, $50, $100, or more.

Enovid Birth Control Pills
Enovid was the original birth control pill brought a new world of reproduction rights to women throughout much of the world. These original pills were incredibly overpowered and thus a lot of women had side effects. That didn't slow down market acceptance, and millions of prescriptions were sold in just a few years. The freedom thes pills provided made it much easier for women in many ways, including to choose the timing or choice of their family building, making it easier for them to advance in the workplace.
See: Original 1960's Enovid, and later 1960's Enovid C packaging looking like a cosmetic compact case. First it was provided in a bottle of loose pills, in then in 20 day blister packs, and then only eventualy headed towards user-friendly weekly rows.
