Fun fact the boston tea party wasnt actually rebeling agianst taxes it was about englands imported tea hurting smuggling business. Basically going legit was hurting the smuggling profits, just like the repeal of prohibition on booze and more recently weed. While not pirating, smuggling is...

It could be but for some reason i think it was strait, not angled like that, and the guy said it had 4 games, but all are tank games and that switch does seam familiar. I dunno its so similar 45 years ago is a long time lol Another thread made me realize that my first comp game i played was...

I was surpised it did not pass, but then agian they also pulled public broad cast funding which most covers rural communities with no other option so nothing surprises me these days. But im surprised subs are such an issue. People really need to check their credit card statements. I double...

1980, vic 20 lunar lander, but arcade was space invaders, i remember the first time i saw it next to pinball macines and was entralled.. little green aliens moving back and forth and that sound dit. Dit, dit is engrained in my brain. That was soon followed by the blowing up of astroids, flying...

I dont think it was atari i think it was a stand-a-lone console,but i could be wrong.

If i had to guess 1.5x6x30 itbasically looked like an arcade game, pannel

Nope it was a flat base like and inch tall, maybe 1.5

No it was factory. It was basically molded plastic. If i had to guess it was about 30" maybe 36 tops and had a pair of sticks on each end. it it had an odd shape, i dont think it had square ends, i think it was slightly angled in at the top. And the sides were a bit beveled., but still...

Similar to mine, its a delema now It plays what i want, but the drivers/cards are getting thier final drivers and win 10 is going to loose its security updates. Im so torn about updating to win 11 with this system seeing vid drivers are now going to be stuck in the past going forward. If...

Pong was on a console with two round knob paddels. Im pretty sure it was grey with black paddels, but its possible im conflating a later version my neighbor had around 82. His was most likely in 75 or 76, im ptretty sure the tank game, wasnt lonng after. For some reason i think it was before...

You'd think game companies would ban toxic players as they drive away so many and they are a fraction of the over all player base. I played mwo and a couple mmos and you'd have one or two on a group of 24 on occasion most of the time people where cordial the ones that werent typically were the...

That would be best, If you really wanted to stick with that comp and could get the cpu used for really cheap. Id look on ebay. i saw some on auction for 50 bucks. With that chip change you could then grab a newer graphics card too though im un familar with a good budget amd card to work on...

Reading tank plus it also said racing game which sounds familiar, but i could swear he had pong first, but maybe not. Then agian we are talking getting close to 50 years ago, so things are kinda fuzzy, like his pet trantula!

Yes, it looked just like the 1974 tank game,but all the info i found said it never was released as a consol. Hence my curiosity. Im temptedto track down the guy that i have not seen in over 40 years to see if he remebers, and ask him of he still has iron man number 4 :p

I agree with the two gpu's, id say nrealy all my systems had two gpus, because i tend to carry them over. Though my first build was a 4mb matrox millenia, which played starcraft and diablo, but when i got baldur's gate, it couldnt handle it, so that became my first upgrade i ever did, a creatice...
