Somebody in my school had one and it was the cooooolest...for about a month.

1. I also remember the hand held electronic football games

your players were little red lights on the screen.

2. Oh yeah.

Like this?

We couldn't afford them but a friend had one.

[Roon]

3. That's it! We had a couple

amazing how technology has advanced in the last 30 years. It just blows me away. I think of my Grandfather in Europe using a handcranked anti-aircraft gun and what he sees today. Just blows me away.

4. Oh yeah!

I think I had one of those as well!

9. Strangely, I remember the commercials more than the game.

5. I go back to Pong.

Unbelievable how cool everybody thought this was back in the day. :rofl:

7. Almost as cool as that guy's shirt.

With Pong you could put a "spin" on the ball and really fake out your opponent! :eyes:

6. I had this one!

Mechanical missile command.

After a couple months I took it apart to see how it worked.

8. Took it apart. Like Kelso did on That 70's Show to the Pong machine?
