Question Can any of you old gits help

[phsend]

Cascade was good...but nothing beat the excitement of getting an Atari games console (£99.99) and a copy of Space Invaders to go with it (£29.99)

Lot of money in 1979, surprised we could afford it actually.

I came in to post cascade but firmly beaten to it.

One of my greatest boxing days, the family was driven down to visit my cousins in Kent for the usual borefest, however, I saw that they had this beauty all set up.

My brother and spent the rest of the day hogging it. It was fantastic!

Don't remember that one, but was talking about Battling Tops yesterday with some people, remember this?

What was the point of that game? Was there any skill involved or was it just a matter of watching the balls hopping from one side to the other?

Believe me irish,getting them to hop from one side to the other is true skill indeed,years of practice.

It was a classic 70's 80's game and as you say ST....took skill when you set it up with out the mat

Haha yeah that video is good! Shame I was minus 12 years old when that game came out :net:

Us -12 year olds were too cool for school by then. Probably wearing Spliffy jeans inside out.

Just seen this on Youtube as well. Why would anyone think about giving a toy (used loosely) which mimics parking a car?? Is the idea "Enjoy this now because you'll be sick of it in a few years time"?

what a bunch of sad old fossils you are.Can't understand what all the fuss is about.Cricko invented one of those with mammoth skins and pebbles eroded into perfectly formed orbs before the last ice age.
