Did anyone else have one?

1. When I was 7

...it was a very good year

It was a very good year for blocky graphics

and one button joysticks

I played it til I was sick

I was in heaven

When I was 7...



(Actually I didn't get one until I was 6 in 1980... I was seven in 81.)

2. still do. it's hooked up to a television in the attic

where i can get a fifteen minute fix to remind me why nostalgia is often better left unspoiled.

i was seven in '81 too, but i didn't get an atari till several years later.

3. I Have A Few But Haven't Hooked Them Up In Years.

I also seem to inherit all my family's 2600 stuff. I loved my 2600 but I was always envious of the Intellivision.

4. That Microsurgeon RAWKED!

Coleco Vision had that Smurfs game too. Damn thing was tricky. I remember going over one kid's house just to play the thing. Kid was a complete racist d*** who constantly called everyone he hatted "f**" but I just wanted to play.
