Sadly yes. I'm old enough to remember when Pacman was a big thing.

Glad I'm not the only one to find this odd for a first post LOL.

I also find it odd even for a spammer though. What is the point?

lt1_fd3s · 03-17-2011, 09:35 AM

may be a spammer...but still fun!

FC Zach · 03-17-2011, 09:37 AM

Remember pogs? ?

t_g_farrell · 03-17-2011, 09:42 AM

I had one of the first video games ever made, PONG.

Anyway, didn't realize it was a spammed post. Oh well.

Yes to all of the above.... And I had the ORIGINAL Rock em Sock em robots, where all the KO noises made were purely mechanical - no electronic sound effects like the ones my kids had!

lets just say that when i started driving, gas was like .68/gal. and my first video game console as a kid was the atari 2600.

a quick search revealed this site on current values:

I never had a video game console, but I do recall waiting in LOOOONG lines during the 1st gas crisis (Carter administration) to buy some of that $0.68 per gallon gas!
