Atari is one of the greatest systems around.  Sure the graphics sucked, but the gameplay was one of the best.  Any of you new gamers who only play your XBox 360 definitely need to check this system out.  Get an emulator and download the 2 meg zip file of ROMS.

Many of my first memories occured while playing the Atari.  Sure nothing really happened but that was really significant, but kids just like having fun.

I remember playing with my neighbor Jason a bit.  I can even remember watching my mom play her favorite game, Mega Mania.  I also remember going over my uncle pauls and playing superman and spiderman in his basement.  In elementary school I remember going over to Chris Wade's house and playing Haunted House.  Riddle of the Sphinx is a game that my Dad used to play with us.  

I also remember shopping for them when the Atari was going out of style at KB Stores.

Here is a list my brother and I . . . Read More..

Apparently my uncle Kirt saved my life when I was a toddler. Please give your recollection Uncle Kirt. I had no idea.

One time Kevin and I were staying the night at my Grandma Dot's house in Florida. Kevin and I slept in her bed and she slept in the middle. At one point in the night one of us wet the bed. Grandma turned the other way and then the other one of us peed on her! I don't know the exact details of what happened but it is just a funny story that has stood the test of time.

I remember riding in the back of Becca's car once on the way back from her apartment. She played some music so loud it hurt my ears. I think it was Prince or something like that. I don't know why I remember this random tid bit but I thought I would record it to see if I could get any recollections from anyone.

I might need Dave and Lel's help on this one. We use to have this game for the NES back in the dizzay. I can't remember the name for the life of me but it came with this robot straight out of a 1950's sci-fi movie. The robot was hooked up to the controller somehow. I remember the robot would go through ellaborate movements just to hit the a or b button. It would drop these spinning discks onto some platform to hold the a or b button in. Once the discks stop spinning the button would be released. I can see now why there was only one game for this robot. Maybe it was ahead of its time or maybe it just sucked. Lel and Dave I need your feedback.
