I've hit my Atari post! 2600!
Anybody remember this time-honored home gaming console? It was preceeded by a few Pong and Brick Out style consoles...

Of course.

I have some games for it still..
Even though I do not own an actual Atari, I have a 'gemini', which can play atari games. =)

And there are of course plenty of emulators available.

Pitfall2 was the best.
 
and Berserk, of course. No self-respecting Teutonic American got through adolescence in the 70s without Warlords and Berserk!;)

I must admit the tank/airplane game that came with the consile was quite entertaining.
 
An Atari controller that plugs directly into the TV/VCR that comes with 10 games built into it. I'll be honest..... bought it for Pong. :D

I still see places to race slot cars every now and then. I don't think i've touched one for 30 years. Anyone else?
 
The last place like that shut down a while back. :( That was a blast, too.

Buddy o' mine picked up a simple track on clearance for like 7 bux. We raced it for hours, good fun, wish we had a bigger track.

I've seen two open up in last couple months, one in Reno area, other in Fallon. Now if they stay open - that's another deal.

I was surprized, having figured the last of them had died 20 years ago.
