Had these growing up, mostly to keep us quiet on car rides.

Then the glory that was Sega released this gem, and nothing else in the house ever had batteries again.

Who remembers this bad boy?

I had to go to friends home for real games. My parents hated me. Space invaders, pac man clone, zorlak, are the only games I remember having.

I don't think I have been that comfortable in my entire life. I am so jelly.

GIS for most comfortable in my life was terrible, but it did have this pillow. When my ex was pregnant, she had a snoogie (I think) that was kinda like this only one sided. Once she had the boy I swiped that snoogie and to this day I cannot sleep without a pillow between my knees. Diary off.

Edit - SNOOGLE

We never actually owned the 2600. First game system in my house was the Atari 5200. Controller joystick broke so easily on the damn thing, though

There's one panhandler near here who frequents the overpasses near my house. Usually he rolls until the cops come usher him off because he's overly aggressive and gets the house fraus in a tizzy and they call the cops. He lives on one of the streets near the freeway, I know because I've seen him leave his house and go to the bus stop when he's catching the bus to panhandle in a different part of town. These are not ghetto or cheap homes

Im currently in Chicago for work and the amount of panhandlers that will run across 6 lanes of traffic because some dipshit held out a dollar is insane. They bring their whole families to sit on the side of the road and walk up and down between cars. Imagine gathering up the wife and four kids in the morning just to watch dad maybe get smeared by a Kia.

All of us old farts had an Atari 2600 back in the day, but what was your second console?

I was at my great aunt's house when I was 2 and someone showed me an Atari and handed me a controller that wasn't plugged in, but I knew it wasn't plugged in and told them to fix it.

My stepdad had a TRS 80 that he bought when he got out of the Marines. It had a tape drive and cartridges, so I guess it was a console. I definitely played it quite a bit when I was a kid, around 4 or 5, and then I started playing with it again when I was 10 or so, to learn to program and take it apart.

I remember them having to stack 2 booster seat thingies at the arcade so I could play Spy Hunter.

So that would make my second console a plain old NES that I got when I got my tonsils taken out.

We had a trash80 model 4, too. Playing Zork on it when I was 13 was the first time in my life I gamed for 30 hours non-stop with no sleep. Spy Hunter was pretty cool.
