    Default Post a pic of you as a kid playing a retro system!



    Me and my Atari 1200XL, circa 1990. Check out the tv hooked up to it--now that's retro.

    Can anybody guess the game I'm playing?

    I have no guess. I just always dig the fact that back in the day (old man voice in effect)... the console was usually bigger than the tv set it played on. And we liked it.
    With a humble heart, on bended knee...

    Correct! Though I should have banned you from competing, Tom. You're the A8 expert round these parts

    My Apple 2E (1983 - 1985... not sure) and no that is NOT a 'Members Only' jacket ;-)



    I know I have a pic of me playing the Odyssey 2 from 1981 but cant find it. Oh well!

    This makes me want to find any picture of myself as a kid, hehehe.

    I am sure that if I find a random pic, it will be game related

    Would a picture of me now playing a system that wasn't even out yet when I was born qualify?

    Man, these pics are fantastic... seeing the one with the f-zero box brought back some memories. Back in the days, the feeling of getting a new game system was just amazing.
