Anyone here into this?

Has anyone here ever owned or still have their old Atari 2600/5200, Commodore 64, or Nintendo Entertainment System (or any other classic system for that matter)?

I have an Atari 2600. I haven't played it in a while, though. The Activision games were the best for that system! I had an NES but sold it about 10 years ago along with all the games. The best one I had was Legend of Zelda.

I sold or traded all my stuff...Here is a story of how stooooopid of a kid I was....When the Nintendo craze first hit I was at the time a "Transformer/Gi Joe" Hustler So in my "infinite" wisdom I decided to trade transformers for nintendo games....

Lets just say "Kid Icarus" is not worth $700 dollars on ebay like an original Megatron is....


for my younger self

I had that very first home gaming system that was made for only one game, where you had two lines and were bouncing a ball between them. Then I got a Commodore 128D which was twice as powerful as the C64 but it was all about the same damn games anyway. Then I got an Amiga 500 with extra RAM that took it up to one whole megabyte.

Edit: Oops, forgot that I had an Atari 800 with Dig Dug, Star Raiders and a bunch of other fun games before I got the C128D.

LOL..I traded my Sega Genesis and some games for a car


The car was a 1968 Plymouth Fury 2 that caught on fire when my friends and I got drunk and decided to go 'baja-ing' out in my mom's back 40

Ya mean Pong?

Nikster said:

Damn! A Plymouth on fire sounds like a whole lot more fun than an old Sega. Good trade!

Nikster said:

Oh yeah, that's right. The hand controllers were two flat knobs that you turned until your wrist got dislocated.

retina said:

Yeah...and our drunk asses ran to the house to get hot dogs instead of a fire extinguisher We're damn lucky the thing didn't blow up

Nikster said:

That's priceless! Oh wonderful youth.

retina said:

Youth?!?! I was 26!!

Nikster said:

That's even more hilarious.

Most of my friends would be too "grown-up" for something like that. They'd probably call the police and the fire department and Greenpeace and who knows who else right away.

Yeah...well....we were hungry

Never underestimate the power of the Drunk Munchies
