I feel like a kid again.
 

Spent the entire evening playing video games on my CTC-11.

Even dragged out the old nintendo with metroid, and super mario bros. Other various games as well.

life is good. :yes:

Avoid using games that have any sort of intense, stationary images. They'll burn a permanent image into the phosphor. This was especially true with projection sets. There were lawsuits way back to cover the cost of CRT replacement.

I'm jealous... You ARE still "a kid" compared to a lot of us... In order for ME to feel like a kid again with a video game, it would have to be an original Atari Pong :(

In order for me to feel like a kid again, it would have to be Winky Dink:

HAHA! I have my atari around here somewhere! :scratch2:

Oh I know all about that! I remember buying a CC II at a yard sale that had the tetris game burned into the phosphors. I avoid those games most of the time and If I do go to a stationary screen I turn the contrast down.

In order for me to feel like a kid again, I'd have an Etch-A-Sketch because when I was a kid video games didn't exist...

I just got another one! Guy at work had a 2600 Junior in storage and decided to give it to me. Reset button doesn't work and I already have half the games I got with it, but now I have a good AC supply to use with my original-style 2600, so not a total loss.

Now I can give my ColecoVision a break because that's what I've been playing my 2600 games through.

Now you're talkin' I remember those days well. I still had more fun outside on my bike going to a friends house!

Hey! old tv nut! I still have my dad's Winky Dink game. It's really a cool idea. I guess it either wasn't very popular or was completely destroyed by children as I have not seen any other sets around.

We did what I suspect a lot of families did, and substituted a piece of Saran wrap - never actually bought the game.

Pong :naughty:

Even better, Asteroids! :banana:

Anyone ever have the Mattel Intellivision? I would play that thing for hours as a kid. I liked Astrosmash, the race car game and Burger Time and a few others that I can't remember at the moment. I had all the inserts for the controller too. It broke in about '95 before I was good enough with electronics to fix it. I would love to find another one. I still have my Super NES that I use in the living room to this day!

I was in court today for something and heard a case about some white-trash that choked his girlfriend for taking the Nintendo out of his hands.

I won't have those things in my house. They are the work of the devil. :grumpy:

OMG I have all those old game consoles still.. I still remember the fight my mom and dad got into every friday when my dad bought a new atari 2600 game to play with me when I was a kid. We played these games all night long on the weekends like Asteroids, Adventure, Megamania and all the other great ones on what I can remember to be a nice CTC46 RCA I think. The set died long ago, but the atari lives on. I still have some 200 games in the garage. Sometimes I like to pull em out with the 2600 and play some on my 66 Maggie combo. Good times, lol. But I have to admit that my Xbox 360 is alot more interesting.
