Anyone remember these? I used to have so many.
I sometimes remember an event, when I probably experienced for the first time being a victim of theft. I was just a kid having a little 'garage sale' at my house and this other little kid came by and was checking out all my Game & Watches for sale on the table. He then asked me if I had more stuff and I went inside to get them. When I came back out, he was still there and we chatted some more, but I later found out that there was a game or two missing after he left. What a little sh*t, being a criminal at that young of an age. Talk about a loss of innocence when I realized that some ppl were capable of that kinda stuff. ![]()

Speaking of marbles, do you guys remember the video game Marble Madness? Was a lot of fun.

My first remote control car, similar to this one, came from Radio Shack. It had no steering, only forward and reverse. It only turned when you reversed, always to the left.

Logged a lot of miles in the backseat of one of these as a kid (same boring color). The car got totalled one late night in the middle of rural nowhere Ohio when a guy in a stolen car didn't stop at a crossroad and we t-boned him. I flew over the front seat and went face first into the dash and broke a tooth. Seat belts? We didn't need seat belts back then! The other guy asked if we were okay and then ran off into the darkness. The state trooper piled us all into his cruiser and drove us 30 miles to my aunt and uncle's house.

I never played that game, but I played a lot of these games.

I was just a young boy, but I clearly remember going to A&W and seeing all those beautiful girls on roller-skates bringing everyone frosty rootbeers. That was pure bliss back then (and would be today).
It makes me miss the diners of old as well, with the long counter right in front of the cool, the sparkle red swivel seats, the cook turning around to ask you exactly how you wanted your meal cooked and then handing it right to you. I really miss that kind of thing. |

Flight 2000 was my pinball game of choice. BTW what does it mean when the image of my favourite machine is credited to the Ann Arbor Pinball Museum? Am I getting old? Surely not.

One that I noticed in your top pic all the way to the right is a game called Qix. Does anybody remember that one? Was different than most games and a lot of fun. I played it a lot.

We used to strap model rocket engines to them and set the rings about 200 ft "down range". Never came close to a ringer but we sure laughed a lot. Burned our fingers on occasion. Oh and nobody died.
