Quoth Geek King View PostNah, Rick rolling is when they interupt something else with a Rick Astley song. That was normal listening by someone remembering the old days. I certainly am not rickrolling myself everytime his music comes up on my rotation!"Eventually one outgrows the fairy tales of childhood, belief in Santa and the Easter Bunny, and believing that SCs are even capable of imagining themselves in our position."

Quoth sms001 View PostGot 'em all on VHS. I'm totally scared that some glitch will come up when I go to transfer them to DVD. But they were still good as recently as a month ago. <fingers crossed>
most of the tapes are OK but some for some reason are crap (and these were NOT el cheapo tapes either)I'm lost without a paddle and headed up SH*T creek.

I would just like to say a big thank you to all you old geezers for making me feel so young now
y'all seriously make up for my coworkers who ask questions like "nintendo what?" (they honestly didn't know there was once a console known simply as Nintendo)If you wish to find meaning, listen to the music not the song

And yes, I still have mine, and it still worked the last time I wanted to play it. I also have the Holy Grail of NES Games... the original Tengen version of TETЯIS, with its superior 2-PLAYER gameplay!"Eventually one outgrows the fairy tales of childhood, belief in Santa and the Easter Bunny, and believing that SCs are even capable of imagining themselves in our position."

Quoth Jack T. Chance View PostThat's because there was NOT. It was the Nintendo Entertainment System... NES for short!

Quoth donruss View PostCan't believe that no one has mentioned the Atari 2600 home console that came with Combat. I think there was a Sears version that came with a different game as well.
It was considerably sturdier than the 2600, tho. Between me and my brother, we managed to burn out or otherwise destroy three 2600's and the TG in our day. The TG lasted the longest, by far.

Quoth EricKei View PostThe would be the Sears Tele-Games. It had Combat, as well, but it was labeled as "Tank Plus". Literally the exact same game in different cartridge packaging. Remember, this was in the days before title screens were the norm for home games.The Rich keep getting richer because they keep doing what it was that made them rich. Ditto the Poor.

Quoth Geek King View PostThe Intellivision, perhaps? I have one in a closet somewhere. I spent many hours playing B-17 Bomber with the intellivoice add-on. "Fighters 6 o'clock!"
