Nintendo
When my sister was little, she heard of some kids at school who had Nintendo. She didn't know what Nintendo was. We didn't have Nintendo*. So, of course, she wanted Nintendo. She was pretty fond of this baton with glitter in it and streamers out the end at the time, and so we said to her, "But you HAVE Nintendo!"

I was over a friend's house once playing Intellivision (because we weren't allowed to have video games) and while I was playing a game, he cracked his forehead open on the stairs. I remember the blood squirting everywhere. He left in an ambulance. I stayed at his house and played Intellivison until my mom picked me up.
I wonder what ever happened to that Intellivision.
*SIGH*
....an INTELLIVISION family?!?
That explains a lot.
newblue: i am howling! almost spit out my asparagus soup.
chris: hey! dad brought it home one day, don't think he ever played it. we had poker,baseball, bastketball, football... all the ball games looked the same.
Anne eventually Crazy Glued the Baseball cartridge into the main unit.
I just noticed here on the photo, why doesn't the broad get to play? what, she finds just enough enjoyment in watching her son and husband play?
lame.
It's obvious that the husband is explaining to the woman how the control works. You know, it's not like it was an oven or stove.
You all are so insensitive. CLEARLY the husband is a recent amnesia victim and his nurturing, thoughtful wife wants him to connect with their progeny. You see, they were never that close before the accident but that bullet lodged in his brain has given this family a second chance. A second chance at love.
Thanks Intelli-vision.
It's the kid who is brain damaged. He's not even looking at the television! He's looking outside - seeing if the control can make the sun drop on the hopscotching Hughes twins across the street!
our Intellivision did nothing for our family.
it ended up in the trash.
we still have the games though!
who's got a player?!
i'll take any of yez on.
i didn't have any siblings so my boy cousins took the liberty of scarring my nintendo experience. i was not allowed to play (because i was "bad"--because i didn't have my own) until everyone was tired of playing. then i'd have one round of them "entertaining" me before it wasn't my turn anymore or until everyone stopped playing. being a girl is tough business.
you said it sister.
fuckin' cousins.
you read. are they in jail?
Atari Baby!
I got Intellivision as a Bar Mitzvah gift, it kicked ass! Hockey was our favorite game, but the controllers weren't exactly user-friendly for that game. We would play until the tendinitis in our thumbs was so bad we couldn't go on. At that age you would think if boys had tendinitis it would be in their wrists, not their thumbs...
sprout some pubes, memorize a scroll of paper, have a party, get Intellivision, become a man. life is strange.
