Yea, modern ads are so uncreative. They just show the main character in some action pose with the game's name over top. Dull dull dull.

Maybe you had a past life in '84? One in which you were a grumpy old man cussin' the kids for playin' their newfangled TV games. Or maybe you were an arcade owner who was an ex-video game designer. Ex because your chief rival stole your games and then fired you. So you hacked into the company's computer, only to be digitized by the Master Control Program... wait... that's Tron ('82).

I miss the mall arcades too. There's a Dave & Busters in mall near me, but it's not quite the same thing. They don't have the games I want to play either.

Nice! I know I must've seen that cabinet in the Mall arcades. They had so many games there. I guess I played Donkey Kong ('81), then Donkey Kong Jr. ('82) and then missed out on Mario Bros. ('83). Maybe since that was the year I got my driver's liscense, I stopped playing kid's games and grew up. Ha ha ha ha! Seriously, I crack me up sometimes.

Yea, I was a sports nut, playing a lot of Baseball and Tennis. Somehow I found the time to bike down to the arcades in the Mall and play Wizardry on Sundays however. 

The C64 was apparently a very cool PC to have. I guess if I had been interested in computers in school back then, I might have encountered one, but I wasn't, and so I've never used one.

Ha! Neat. I didn't notice the rhyming 'til you mentioned it. Luigi is such a wuss.

That's neat. I was off to college when the NES came out. For some reason, no one at school had one and I didn't even know it existed until '95 or so when I started getting back into gaming.

Neat! I want to hear which ones are good.

I was 10 when Star Wars and the Atari 2600 came out. The perfect age to get hooked on games and scifi. I'd say I'm more into it now than I was back then. Strange, isn't it?
