Remember this?

[j1laskey]

I had the ADAM computer...what a POS

 

[JeffoC6]

Thanks to you, I've wasted 4 hours of my life today...First time I've ever seen/played this, and absolutely addicted.

 

[bflobrewer]

Man... it would take $12 to fill my commuter car at that price! Instead, I pay about $40!!!!!!!!!!! That is more than $3,000 per year difference!

Same here. Insane! Could you imagine paying $12 for a full tank nowadays!

Gasoline was only 33 cents/gal when I started driving, but I was living on $154 a month.

 

[j1laskey]

I was working at a gas station when it went from 99 cents to a dollar....and people weren't happy about it!

Drive in speakers? I went to my first drive-in when I was a wee lad. We still have a drive-in around here...I should go this summer.

 

[JonM]

This was awesome.

 

[Revvy]

I always wondered how many of this things became complex bong type devices?

[cannman]

This was awesome.

Yeah!!! What was this called again??

 

[JonM]

Capsella!

 

[biochemedic]

I used to read all of these when I was a kid...

 

[KingPin]

VIOLET WAS easy.... rack up enough points with the BARD and you could do whatever .... I used to fantasize... i mean nevermind....

Along with LORD was BRE (i totally forgot about that until I was thinking on my BBS Gaming experiences.) I found a ZIP disk with my BBS Installation on it....

Are you kidding me? I played lord all the time! I was always plowing violet the barmaid. Ha!

It would have been fun to see who could inhale deep enough to get the propeller spinning and wheels rolling.

 

[glenn514]

I used to read all of these when I was a kid...

Yuppers, I had ALL of them! And all the Tom Swift, Junior books, too! In fact, I think they were all written by the same person.

[glenn514]

^^^ Just did a bit of computerized research, and the Hardy Boys books were NOT written by the same person who wrote the Tom Swift, Jr novels. But the research did indicate that more than one author was involved in both series of books. Interesting stuff!

[lschiavo]

My parents have a wall mount that still works. My dad was too cheap to pay the upgrade fee for tone dialing. Man is it time consuming to dial with.

***edit*** the rotary dial phone posted a while back...pic doesn't get quoted mobile I guess.

 

[Aschecte]

I used to read all of these when I was a kid...

Awesome !!! I remember being like 12 years old and my father bringing home like 20 hardcover hardyboys novels he got from a customer. I loved those books !

 

[Dawnhulio]

Uh... This, and this...






As well as Battlestar (original) Gallactica ships and figurines my hubby played with as a kid..

Those were the days...

 

[Dawnhulio]

I know the last quote indicated Battlestar Gallactica stuff, but only Star Wars stuff is shown... the BG stuff is in the bottom of a box!

 

[Huaco]

There is still a Drive-In in my hometown of Granbury, Tx. It is the Brazos Drive-In. I remember hanging those speakers on our car window while getting eat up by mosquitoes because Dad didn't want to spend the money on one of those cool mosquito repellent coils that you light on fire and burn on the dash of the car!

 

[spearko520]

does anyone remember 42" plasma flatscreens? that was so 1998. I can't believe we lived like that...

 

[machinelf]

Ha, sorry about that! Are you playing it online somewhere?

does he have the one that's the battlestar that shoots out the foam fighters from like a rubber band powered shooter?- i think it had two triggers on it and you could shoot out two of the fighters at the same or separate times...
i really wish i would have done less drugs so i wouldn't need forums like this to remember my childhood...

Somebody should sample that Mr Wizard jam and turn it into a rap song...It would make a million dollars (Tom Smykowski)...

Here's what I have to contribute:

I made one of the C64 SID synth's on this website but alas, sold it, when I moved a couple of years ago. Should have hung on to it.
