Yaaaaaahhhh! Get away!
Oh, and let's not forget any movie or TV show featuring Dan Haggerty as a scuzzy trapper-slash-mountain man, and anything produced by Sunn International Pictures.

There were video games.
You could buy PONG as it's own machine for your tv.
You could also get Magnovox's Odyssey system (later replaced by Odyssey 2 in the 80s) or late in the 70s, Atari's VCS system.
Kids also had those handheld games (like Football) that used LEDs.

I DID say Charger, didn't I? Just a Plymouth Satellite with a Dodge logo, or vice versa.

We will have to agree to disagree.
I am wary of pop music with violins. Roy Orbison probably did it best.

No. You mighta been too stoned to remember. But Punk Rock & New Wave drove a stake thru Disco's heart in the late seventies/early eighties. ;o)
