Not even nostalgia can evoke a shred of enjoyment out of that bizarre ET game.

“Asteroids, Missile Command, Warlords, Star Raiders, Swordquest, Centipede and Super Breakout.”

What? No Space Invaders?

I’m sure that files of the pirated ROMs and emulators are out there. This stuff is only of interest to serious collectors. If you just want to play the games, you can.

I remember British Leyland closing their dealerships in the United States. They forced the car dealers to smash every casting, cut every wiring harness up, render all components non-functional, and witness them to the landfill, smelter, or appropriate disposal.

Saddest month of my younger years.

I had Intellivision version one and two. Now those games were very fun!

The machine to have from that era was the Vectrex...Gave a very good emulation of what was available at the arcade.

If you get a chance to see the documentary it is well recommended. A fun ride and thorough take on the rise and fall of Atari.

I know where a couple of buried landfills are; they were closed in the late 60s.

I’ve always wondered how many baseball collections are interred there.

Kiddo put his foot through the console so that was the end of our Atari. Couldn’t buy a new one that late in the game and couldn’t give it away. Finally threw all the games out. It was a sad day.

Rusty Griswold: Hey, ya’ got Pac Man?
Cousin Dale: No.
Rusty Griswold: Ya’ got Space Invaders?
Cousin Dale: Nope.
Rusty Griswold: Ya’ got Asteroids?
Cousin Dale: Naw, but my dad does. Can’t even sit on the toilet some days.
