I was certianly part of the video game generation, but I never got into them. My brother had the atari 2600, we had that before he got his Nintendo in 1988 for his 9th birthday (he's 4 years older than me).
He played games on mom and dads bedroom TV, the '74 RCA XL100.
I feel like a kid when I find a zenith TV on the side of the road, thats what I was doing then, and Im still doing it today! Old TV's are a connection to when I was a little kid, I loved finding them and taking them apart. Basically nothing has changed! Instead of taking them apart, I fix them, thats about the only difference. I couldn't have asked for a for enjoyable and fun childhood, I loved taking things apart and learning how stuff worked. No offense, but Im glad I never got caught up into the video games. I had too much fun being outside and holding the trouble light for dad when he worked on the '71 Chrysler. Also being asked to go find a tool then to come back empty handed because it wasn't where Dad said it was! "Where the hells the damn cresent wrench!" he'd say. And getting yelled at for leaving tools in the middle of the lawn only for dad to discover when he was out mowing the lawn. "Damn it Douglas, you little wrecker!" Yep, rusty tools would be found in the lawn or in the sandbox next spring after the snow finally melted away.....Haha, good memories!
