Done all that.

Had the Atari 2600, and I raise you a Commodore 64

The original Test Drive was EPIC!

Ha ha I had a Commodore 64, 128 & Amiga as I also have done the above. I also remember having a Betamax player.

so... wait, are you old timers saying that there was a world before the internet, xbox 360, ps3, facebook and wii?!?!?

Yes, and I spent it outside crushing the neighborhood kids at street hockey. Then I turned 13 and bought a boat and my summers were spent as the neighborhood pimp/whore

this thread is to make us feel old....:spam:

Who remembers being in grade school watching live coverage of the moon landings?

What about the Nixon impeachment?

Or the evening TV news coverage of Vietnam?

Buying cigs for 50 cent a pack.

damn spam accounts causing interaction on the forum!

Yes to all.....good memories

Yes again to all of the above. That last one had me LMAO.... I'm a non-smoker, but back in those days in Brooklyn NY where I grew up, my dad & mom would often send me to the stores up the street to buy stuff for them and cigs & beer were on the shopping list. I was maybe 9~12 years old, and the corner store guy would sell me whatever I asked for without question. Sad but you can't send your kid to do that anymore in today's "gov't knows best" nanny welfare state!

Sorry you can't play Tray :dunno:

yeah. kids actually went OUTSIDE and played and parents hated rainy days.

Yes to all and a TV was too expensive in the 50's for us to have one...was black and white when we did and 1 channel for 12 hours a day and a lot of places in New Mexico had out door plumbing until the mid 60's..grew up using a 2 meter rig for phone calls and .............

yes on all counts.

i, too, had an Atari 2600 and i started out with Pac Man, Defender and Missile Command.
i had a black-n-white TV, my dad had 8-tracks and i had vinyl. we had a Corona ... and i don't mean beer.

^I have a friend who is about to finish restoring a Corona.

jeez ... if you ever get your hands on any shots of it, please, please don't feel any misgivings about sending me some. :)
