My parents owned video stores when I was growing up so you can include me to that list! I remember watching Return of the Jedi on Beta.

HAHA!!!
I was at best buy right before christmas and it was pretty cool to see blu ray players on Sony laptops.
Dell has HD screens now but too bad those knuckleheads don't have an HDMI OUT.

why by a HD or Blue-Ray player when most of my DVDs are in the regular format anyway. and besides my tv is 720p

I remember Laser Discs, My neighbors brother got this awesome system, TV was much bigger then Keiths but not wide screen, any way we used to drive the neighbors crazy watchign start wars. i think DVD's came out the same year he got the system.

Yeah lets talk about the meet, oh yeah its not this weekend but next my bad.

Lazer disk...oh yeah. I remember going into Circuity City back in the day....going into their sound demonstration room and watching Terminator on Lazer disk. Lazer discs FTW

Didn't they release a mini lazer disk as well?

My mom still has an 8-track recorder. You could transfer all of your vinyl records to 8-track so you could play them in your car. My dad had a 78 Ranchero with an 8-track player and a hard wired car phone....too bad we weren't living in Miami, cause we would have been driving around in style

These topics are always funny.....I think I was discussing game systems once...maybe with Cesar....we googled it and it was very interesting to see the evolution of the video game.....they always talk about the 360 being the best 7th generation platform...and it made me wonder....7th?

So I listed them in my mind, working backwards:

7-Xbox 360, Playstation 3
6-Xbox, Playstation 2
5-Nintendo 64 bit (SNES), Playstation
4-Sega CD-32 bit
3-Nintend0-16 bit
2-Atari?


but that is where I drew a blank. Google it if your interested...the old skool game systems were cool.

Pong was old skool uber pwnage.

wasn't there a sega before sega CD? for some reason I remember there being a sega and then they added on the cd part - but I never had one so I could be talking out of my.........


yeah - probably that one

2. commodore 64
2. intelivision

1. pong/atari

kwescott

Yeah, there was a Sega-16 bit system....then they added the slot to add the Sega CD.

During this time there was a 64-bit system made by Atari...called the Janguar. My brother had one...was pretty cool, but it wasn't released with many games, and the controllers were huge, and used that card system similar to the game system pictured above in jakes post.

vipers

lol i had that system when i was a kid!^^^^^

and there was a regular Sega before sega cd and genesis... most people dont remember






also, this sunday, a few people are getting together around 10pm to go on a spirited cruise up 138..... we are meeting at pirate city and then heading out..... since monday is a somewhat holiday, most people should be off ...lemme know if your interested

kwescott

Sunday is the Patriot Game......it is a full day of fasting and doing that preying thing where you are kneeling towards Meccha and banging your forehead on a small little carpet. (It is much fun. YOu'll all invited, but please bring your own rugs).

kwescott

bored at work....remember one of those old systems you had...still have some of those games....wonder if they are rare, or what they are worth....

Detrich
