Mighty Favog Posted January 28, 2005 Author Share Posted January 28, 2005 The Head-to-Head Football is a little on the fritz but that basketball game works as good as the Christmas day I got it. I was in a store a few weeks ago and there is a company that is putting the same basketball game out AGAIN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skonopa Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 How I remember those. I also remember spending hours playing with my brothers MERLIN: Also, pretty cool that you can download and play a "virtual" version of MERLIN at this site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those modern hand-helds, such as the new Nintendo DS, are far more powerful than the friggan full-sized arcade games we played at the arcade in the mall! Hell, I'd be willing to bet that thing has more horsepower than my old 486-based PC! And I remember how many study halls we killed in junior high school playing those "Pac-Man" watches.

dodger Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Memories of a sweet simpler time at my ex's Family Cabin Lakeside in New Hampshire. I could still drive and make it there without a map. I know this came out earlier but it fits: Sweet, sweet City Woman, You're my Sweet, Sweet Sweet Sweet City Woman. Lord where does the time and where do the people go? dodger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooting_monkey Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Actually I'm willing to bet that the DS has more horse than a PII 233, and the PSP probably benches about a P3-733 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3dzapper Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 My favorite electronic toy was "I Took A Licken From A Chicken". We had to buy one for our dayghter so I could play with it. We baby boomers never had such wonderous devices when we were kids. We had to rely on dice for our play baseball leagues. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jt1stcav Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Wow...I still have my Mattel Electronics Baseball from 1978 and it still works great! I just dug it out of my closet and popped in a 9V battery...Guess I'll be playing baseball with all those neat little red LEDs flickering for the next several hours.

jt1stcav Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Mine looks just like this eBay auction...I think there are also new clones of these classic games being sold today. Can't beat the classics, eh? Just like Klipschorns, they'll be around forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
