Fun Trip Down Memory Lane For Gamers

Recommended Posts

I know we have had our threads about old video games and consoles, but the discussion in the other thread has turned into a controller war and who was first type thing. I figured it would be cool to look at the evolution of the video game console and paddle/controller history from the beginning. Kind of gives you an idea of how what got to where:

My dad has an old Pong machine stashed away somewhere and it still works. I didn't see a photo of the one like his.

I also have an Intellivision which was my first game console. Later I added the voice module which was one of the first game consoles to have voice. Intellivision had superior graphics to the Atari 2600 which were kind of the two competing consoles at the time, but the Atari was far more popular.

The Intellivision voice module:

Can't hide the gaming I guess and this thread only took minutes to create. It's all in the browser tools. wink Your kids would love it Picks.

That is cool LIMIT. Old School! grin

Found the Bally Professional Arcade at a garage sale for $2. Still have the box / manuals / instructions and registration card! Don't think it works, but these things sell for good prices on that big auction site!

Anyone owning the older systems could make some good money on that site I bet! Especially with a lot of games!

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
