My first computer a TRS-80
Oh man a trash 80 Radio shack special.I learned BASIC on a TRS80 in High School. Had a great teacher who taught us to program Night Driver. One of the first video games!
How about the color overlay you put on your 19" tv to play Breakout in color, came with the original pong
I have a retro atari with 40 games installed in it. I platy centipede and missle command on occasion. My daughter and I shoot each other in Outlaw.Missile Command... how could I forget that one. I played that for hours. You can't imagine how dismayed I was years ago when I returned from my out of state college, only to find that my mom had gotten rid of the Atari and all my games. I'm sure such a collection would bring in some cash from a someone now a day. To her it was junk to be given away. To me it represented hours of fun and child hood memories.
Good Post.
.... a neighborhood fistfight would even draw the parents as spectators.
LOL! Let me guess...one of your many fights? :wave:
Remember when your nintendo game wouldn't work so you took it out and blew into it?
There was no internet back then how did EVERYONE know to do that?
Heck, I remember when the "gate" was just that, a numbered gate in a chain link fence. No security. Friends and family would sometimes even board the plane to say goodby! I'm told that the airlines did have the occasional stow-away who would hide in the bathroom until airborne since they weren't going to turn around just to put him or her out. Passengers were also invited to the cockpit. I probably got my lifelong obsession with flight from sitting in the pilots seat of a Lockheed Constellation when I was about 3 or 4. Couldn't see much but the rudder petals, but for some reason remember the big weather radar display mounted just behind the engine throttles. According to my mother, I came back to my seat calling it the "pilot light."Remember when you could go all the way up to the gate at the airport with your friends and family?
Remember when there were no cellphones, people would actually have their heads up, and communicate with people in REAL life
God, this killed me. Takes me back to when the internet was a green field of pasture for nerds, and you used IRC and MSN and social networks didn't ruin it yet.Remember the sound of a new message on MSN Messenger?
