LOL Well, I may be older than you are (old enough to be your mom) but I am only 5 years old deep down. ;D
And yes, when my son was little (he is 24 now) he used to say: Mum... did they really have colour TV in those days when you were alive? LOL

I was playing my old NES the other day(it still works and I get games for $1 at a used game store near my house), and my 6 yr old said the graphics were awful and no way would he ever play those cheap games
I told him oh yeah, well say good bye to the PS2 for further notice and the only games you get is the NES lol

You go, VGER. LOL I have to admit that among my favourite games are those old point and click games, of which I have quite a selection now and just love playing those. (Hence my new board "Point and Click" ((big plug)) LOL
And still play games for the Sega Mega Drive, (Genesis), SNES and Master System... Alex the Kidd... LOL
But I must admit that the NES does have very very poor graphics. LOL
I also now play again Dungeon Master - used to play it on the SNES but it's now downloadable for the PC. ;D

Shit I still play my Atari 2600 every so often.
I have a PS2, but to be honest, the more buttons they make for a game system, the more I get turned off, because then they get ridicoulous stuff to do something simple
Yeah Ryan wasn't to happy with what I did, but oh well, Tim(3 yrs old) loves the NES, and Matt(almost 9) plays whatever I let him play because he rarely gets to play video games as I am a mean old man and make him play outside or with friends more than I allow him to play video games.

I also prefer the simplicity of a gameplay. Too many buttons for too many actions and I don't care anymore. Same with my PC games - the more buttons you are suppose to use on the keyboard, the less I like it. That's why I prefer those point-and-click games. All you do is point... and click. ;D I never had an Atari but my son used to have a Jaguar console on which we used to play Theme Park and such. You got great colours with that one. Unfortunately, it didn't have a long shelf life.  |

In the US, a 10 cent piece is a dime.
a nickel is 5 cents
speaking of which, Matt has learned that a $2 dollar a week allowance just doesnt go anywhere anymore lol

LOL I always get those two mixed up. OK, so... I remember when you could make a phone call with a dime. ;D And yes, $2 doesn't get you anything anymore these days. Not like in those days when we were young, eh VGER?  |
