I do remember when I was stationed at Scott AFB one of my co-workers use to bring a Mattel Intellivision in on mids and we'd play baseball and football...The tips of my thumbs would be numb for days afterwards because of how the controllers were modelled... My parents got us the Atari when I was a freshmen. The sports games sucked sans bowling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was teaching US history at the beginning of each decade we would do a PowerPoint with slides of about 100 pics of.people , bands, culture toys TV shows etc... to start the lesson and kids had to guess each pic and some bonus points given to the student that knew the most. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a good time to bring up the chemistry set I got for X-mas one year. I had it all for about 15 minutes when the concoction I was heating up blew up. I never saw that chemistry set again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 Lived in a one story brick home. Played entire baseball games with a rubber ball. Side of the house created ground balls and line drives. The roof created fly balls (until the gutter caught them). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
