Top Gun on Nintendo is still the bane of my existence, getting all the way through a mission just to crash on the landing.

I feel ya there. I remember killing it on missions only to be destroyed on landing. Ahh the good ole days.

I remember playing Combat &Pacman on my Atari 2600. Even had the ever popular E.T.!

I didn't have a C64, but I did have a few of the Tandy Color Computers starting with the first one. My parents owned a Radio Shack franchise so I always some of the top of the line goodies. I also remember playing on our Tandy Model 4. That thing was a behemoth!

Hopefully they will get another one going soon, get all the newcomers involved.

Yeah, that would be cool. I'm not sure I'd be able to make it this summer though. But I'd try

Man my dad was saving our Tandy and he had it stored at my aunts house when they had a fire in the garage and toasted it. I was sad

The Old Days, sometimes referred to as "The Good Ol' Days".........not all that different than now.
You got "Friended" back then too, usually after a fistfight (that's where two GUYS go out back after school and settle things with their fists fair and square) and afterwards
someone says to the other, "wanna be friends?".

We had "internet" that was how you knew you caught a fish, someone would say "Hey put that sucker "in ur net". yep


Ahhh, we dropped calls then too, usually because somebody ran into the string and Yank the can right out of your hand, Damn! Ya hated that when that happened.


What else.....Computers? Sure, of course. Had different color beads on what looked like a bunch of handheld clotheslines for Peanut M&M's.


Sex, now that - We invented !! I guess you thought you guys did, right?:biggrin:
