I believe the year was 1973, the year I first discovered Pong. A date that would live in infamy for me.

Toru Iwatani (PacMan) and Alexey Pajitnov (Tetris) have a lot to answer for, too.

I chucked a lot of quarters in Asteroids and Space Invaders arcade boxes in Steverino’s Sub Shop back in the 70s. Hi-tech lol

When the workplace is dominated by women you end up with Oprahland.
It’s a choice.

Yup. Every kid wished they had Colecovision in the early 80s. But Intellivision was my absolute favorite! It was so unique. USA was cranking out the electronics back then.
