Your Favorite Seventies Memories?

[Nahum]

One of mine is when my mom bought me a hand held Atari game called Galaga for Christmas. I was probably 12 at the time. It looked like a mini arcade console, and had a tiny joystick. The screen was black and the graphics were in red and yellow only.

I wore that thing out in no time. Does anyone here remember the Atari game where you shot the big blobs out of the sky?

I remember the first Atari game where it was two lines on either side that went up and down and "ball" that you tried to hit to the other side.

Black and white and that's all it did.

That's it! Asteroids.

WE used to play Dig-Dug too.

My mom got all three of us boys a hand-held Atari that year. We thought we had gotten rich!

Great entertainment for a bored kid. I used to take a tennis ball and throw it up against the brick facade of our front porch. It would bounce back in all sorts of weird ways. It helped to sharpen my reflexes.

Maybe that's kinda what Atari was shooting for? Sharpening our thumb reflexes.
