Believe it or not. I still have in my hand, the Coleco handheld football game(1980). It still works!! That was Game Boy, before Game Boy!! I found it at my aunts house. This was ahead of it's time.
 
When everyone had atari2600 - my parents had to be different and get me Odyssey2. But it turned out to be a really good thing cause we'd hit atari's at my friends' houses and then Odyssey at my house!!! And yes, I still have it & it works!!! :yeey
And... I still have my commodore 64 with tons of games!!! I was the best at Archon!!!
Oh, and my Atari Lynx which I really only bought for 1 game.... Chip's Challenge!!!

Hey Kenny I will take a picture of the building and post it up.

And oh my how the dinosaur games have came out. Blow the dust off of them.
 
those early '90s supernintendo controllers.. (the crappy gray ones) how much would they be worth nowadays?
 
werent those gray controllers out in the 80s, i thought they came out around 1988 or 1989?

hey el boricua sorry but i was a child of the early 90s. 🙂
 
EL_BORICUA_72, I would love to see what the building looks like. its still up and running?

I used to call the hot line all the time to send me free stuff. i got a few bumper stickers that say "GOTTA GET HOME TO MY COLECOVISION" with all the hot, coleco games charachters of that time on it (DONKEY KONG, MR.DO!)

I remember the after market controllers that were availible. they called themselves "WICO". I used to open the boxes when i was a kid and throw in 2 or 3 cartridges in it and get them for free!!! (i know, i was a bad kid!! but i was going to spend $90 for 3 games!)

MY BROTHER HAS THE ATARI W/GAMES AND WORKING CONTROLLERS...I SHOULD GO MAKE HIM HOOK IT BACK UP FOR OLD TIME SAKES....LOL
 
i tried hooking up my NINTENDOS but they dont seem to work any more. i found a replacement part on EBAY (thanks, FreestyleKing!) for $8!! not too shabby!

I also wanted an ADAM COMPUTER when i was younger. My mom almost got one for me but then she heard they were all being recalled because they didnt work! 🙁

When it first came out, i belive they were 2 seperate game packages. then years later they combined the 2. i remember when my neighbor got thiers in 85 and it had this stupid thing called "ROBBIE THE ROBOT" that was supposed to "mimic" you.
