We had Colecovision - which had about a tenth of the game selection.

And then we double downed and bought the Adam Computer.

Yeah, it's such a trip.

Check this video out of him actually singing the girl part in 2019. It looks so weird haha. I think one of the girls beside him even laughs a little when he starts in on the part.

That man has visited Dr. Krause at Intramed or someone like him.

Re-examine your life and your goals. All these other guys seem like clowns and they learned how to play instruments. You mean to tell me that your ceiling is some kind of musical banana?

Sort your life out son!

lol When I was around 10 my dad traded a fish tank to some dude for a chrome Kuwahara. It was a beauty. Think I had it for about 6 months then some jerk stole it while I was inside eating dinner.

As for things I was jealous of that my friends had? Definitely rollerblades.

A buddy of mine had this Coleco electric football game. You'd turn on the switch and the whole base of the game would vibrate causing all the players to move.

I recall a neighbor kid had some KISS cards. They blew my mind.
I had an Apollo - tried to put a sticker on the front to try and make it look like a factory - no dice. All the factory and Mongoose kids made fun of me all the time. Finally got a factory but it was the E.T. Special - so that didn’t help the rep

I would watch football again if the QB weighed as much as the entire defensive line

seriously. they did that.

on a less serious note, I was jealous of the guy I knew who had an intellivision game system.
I was so happy when I got to play the baseball game.
I have a mental image of your parents showing a slide show of Disney world to you guys, while you all lose your minds.

Our household would have turned into Lord of Flies if that had gone down. The kids outnumbered the adults 2:1 and it would have been a legit revolt.

I could name a few things like video game consoles or the Ninja Turtles technodrome but mostly it was sugary treats for lunch. We never got any of that bad stuff growing up and I was always jealous of the fruit roll ups, jello puddings, and other treats in my friend’s lunch boxes.

I recall I hung out with brothers and we tried playing one of their Iron Maiden albums backwards. It was like looking at clouds, except we made up words based on what we heard. We came up with something with devil and hell in it.
