Oh yeah. Thatshwatitwuzsh.

I don't think I've ever felt as old as I do right now.

Anyone ever get into the extremely short-lived Elcasete?

Those were obsolete by the time I had money to afford something like that. My dad co-signed a loan so I could buy my first home recorder.

I've walked into friends houses where their parents had that exact same model, and we weren't allowed to touch it. Until one day, after school when no one was home my friend put on Yessongs. I had seen the light.

My Dad had one of these in one of his cars. I think it was his GTO. I barely remember it, but I do remember that it skipped a lot.

Heh. We use those in some of the antique autos we do at my work. LOL Found one in almost gem condition at Pomona swap meet about three weeks back. Dude wanted 500 for it so I declined, but its certainly worth the cost for dudes with N.O.S taste.

Not tech at all, but **** it. I used to love this boardgame. The so-cool thing about it was that the big vampire bat piece was hollow, so when you as Dracula got a victim, you placed this bat over their piece and they were then one of your slaves. Also had a cool vampire mask if I remember.

Then there was this:
Ah, crap! Can't find a picture. But basically it was a board game based on Dr Who, the coolest thing about which was that the daleks moved on an inside track and you turned a sort of knob on the board to advance them along. Loved that game.

And more semi-recently, the coolest game ever!

Basically, you put together a band, cut singles and watched them go up the charts, toured and then cut an album and did bigger gigs as you got more popular. Superb. Got thrown out accidentally during the construction of the extension in 2012. :(

Well if we're going that route....

And then a few years later cooler things came down the pike.

Nice man, I put my sister through hell when I was a kid. I remember hiding my dad's wallet under her bed and saying that she stole it.

I was an evil little bastard.

Oh Hell yeah. Good stuff. I remember I punched myself in the face almost bloody and blamed it on her, just to get out of chores once. Good times.
