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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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...

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.

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.
