I owned that one and then later got this one

Had all of those...paid 225 at Sounsdaround (down from $260) for the yellow one in 1996. Had a Discman in 1991, but the Panasonic had 20 second antiskip.

Then I asked a couple of my buddies in Edmonton if they ever played it, and none of them had. So maybe it was just a Calgary thing, but that game was awesome, and those guys definitely missed out.

Baby bumps, hot potato...the 4 square had the top square cut in half with a diagonal line.

Got one of these in the States...back in the mid 80's, our family vacations were road trips to Spokane or Seattle...saved paying state tax being an Alberta resident (still can I think)...as a result got a lot of electronics there. Plus the selection was miles ahead for games for the Intellivision and Commodore...remember getting a Yamaha keyboard that was $400 here in Eatons, and was $149 at Kmart in Spokane.



Also got our first computer in 1984 in Seattle (at Javco), the next year, got the also pictured 1541 disk drive.


Speaking of music...Coca Cola Countdown Friday evening, in the 90's, when Erica and Dan Gallagher would host...then went into weird Electric Circus at 7pm.
