Passes Windex up the thread

Has fallen and can't get up?

I actually remember the football game and the baseball game very well. I remember trying to make those block guys outta Lego!

Galaga is one of my all time favorites! I have a hard time getting past level 25-26. I usually have bought the farm by then.

I really wanted to buy one of those arcade machines in the 90's but I spoke with a guy that repaired them for a living and he told me they were a pain for upkeep and high dollars for servicing.

Decided that one day (before I croak) I wanna build a arcade cabinet myself for a game system to have the arcade feel. Found the plans on the internet, now all I need is the time and the room.

Ya there was a craze for a while that had Burger King selling Domino's pizza and tacos too.

I have indeed seen the K-Mart "K"raftsman items and I doubt you could bring in your old "C"raftsman screwdriver to get a new one!

He'd just better hope she don't pull out a knife and go SPEND it!

Just don't have sex with a would be girlfriend that turns out to be your SISTER!

**Poor George....**

Pac-Man was also packaged by Sears under a label : "Telegames" I think (I have not looked in the atari's main game box in about 13 years) and If I am not mistaken they (Sears) had an "Our brand" label for a lot of Atari games in that era.

(I have 3 copies of Pac-Man)

Rushing production on ANY game or movie is just WRONG! I don't want to be shorted out for a deadline.

Same thing I feel about movies being trimmed down because someone thinks "I" don't want to sit in a movie theater for 3-4 hours to see a movie. I also think they should have intermission like in the old movie days too ala Gone with the Wind.

**More sales on DVD's with deleted scenes**

All about the money.....

Plywood is not comfortable I suppose!

Sorry I have a broken mouse (Not the kind in the attic) that makes me double post sometimes. Got to buy a new one.

I have only 1 thing to "say" about the ET post above:

I am still laughing!!

I honestly had no idea that it SUCKED so bad they used it for landfill!

Chopper Command I would always keep next to River Raid and Mega Force.

Star Command: I keep the controller pad sheet in a zip loc bag and have made clones of it.

Mice in the attic is another issue that I understand well my friend.

Goofball:Ya Donkey Kong sucked, but Donkey Kong Junior was GREAT!

Misswright: I love to customize my characters! Back then you just hoped you were able to get bullets for the gun (you could never see) and now you can see and actually customize the gun!

Waterboy: I forgot all about the bat. He'd always drop me in the maze that would repeat itself if you didn't get the combination right(as I recall it's a bit fuzzy)

Loved Warlords, hated when you got a set of paddles that had 1 broken.

I used to clean and repair parts from old joysticks because I'd use them so much. Had to learn to do it because funds were low. It became a problem when I decided to get some of the newer versions of the joystick and the parts were not compatible.

Here's another question:

How many of us STILL have their Atari system?

<= I do! ;)

Didn't Berzerk eventually spawn the game "Robotron" or something like that?

The first game system I had was the "Pong" system though. That was simple but took a LOT of imagination to make you think the little white line was a tennis player!

I love Freeway! I think it was Activision's Frogger clone gone mad!

John's right about the challenge. I loved the game "Adventure!" I think it was called. You were the little block knight that had to kill the dragons of different castles (Different mazes and colors) and get a flashing golden goblet at the end.

Digital Derby I think was a black hand held game. Was it by atari? I can't remember!

<= Won 3rd place in state competition for Asteroids. Prize was a game of my choice. I chose Pac-Man!

I also bought the vintage games for the PS2.

**I'm so much a geek!**

I thought ET was very bad, and found "Raiders of the Lost Ark" so hard I buried the game in the back yard!

Then I think the real question is "How far are you willing to go?"

BTW: I do think she will not speak to you for a time. How long? Who knows.

The question is:

Can you live with things as they are now?

Another is:

Can you be held hostage in your own house by your daughter?

Just a thought.

Hi Kazzee, I'm new here too. *waves*

Explain all this?

Ask a question, get many personal views on answers!

I think that's about right...

I think you should charge her rent as Dragoness said. I have no children, but I did have a family that when I got my first job (in my teens) requested that I give them $25-$50 per check for "rent and upkeep" and I thought it was unfair at best. Almost 20 years later I understand that it was a lesson of responsability.

Guilt is transitional, but if you wanted your child out you would tell her to "GET OUT". I think if she was more respectful of you, that the entire outlook on everything would change. If not, tell her you love her, give her a deadline to save money, and let the deed be done. If she has no job to get the money.... Well I think it's time to find one.

I think at the very least some ground rules of the house need to be set.

Here, I'll start you off with the first one.

1) This is my home and you will not disrespect me in my home. If you do not like that, it's time for you to find a home with like minded people such as yourself that will accept the verbal abuse. I will not.

I hope that helps goddesss.
