Its in my nature. I was the 4 year old that constantly asked "why?" and never outgrew it.

Good for you! We should all be that way!

I was the kid that stuck the butter knife in the outlet, and took mom
and dad's electrical stuff apart to see how it worked.

Oh see, here's where my parents and I disagree.

We moved when I was in 8th grade- we left the Atari 2600 out in the car for over 8 hours in the sun, and it never worked the same afterwards. I took it apart (screws only!) to see if there was a circuit board loose, or if something had unsoldered itself. My father to this day claims I was the one to break it.

There may be a silver lining there Zed...

I still have a original NES in the box and I was offered 200 bucks for it.

There are people out there STILL looking for the old games.

I still have a Nintendo 64 just for playing TWO games:

WWE No Mercy and WWE WrestleMania 2000 for N64.
(The 2 best wrestling games EVERRRRR created. No other game has
come close since the PS3 came out, and I haven't seen reviews for
the wrestling games on the PS3...)

you may wanna sell those Atari games on eBay!

I'd look on eBay and see what peeps are getting for 'em....

All of my Atari games are listed as "common" - so I might get 50 cents each for them. I gave them to a old friend who still had her Atari, and for shiggles we'd hook it up to her TV and play them.

What I would do for my old NES back- I would LOVE to play The Legend of Zelda again.

My daughters and I still enjoy the Super Nintendo for Mario Kart and Super Mario World. They also have a Nintendo 64 for playing Zelda Ocarina of Time.

you know, I could never get to the end of that game to save my ass, but
Sigette picked it up one day and ACED IT! TWO DAYS! DONE.

Totally freaked me out. I must not have been holding my controller right
or somethin'. hahahaha

I was a "Missile Command" and "Defender" addict on Atari.

Missile Command wasn't bad. Defender...uh, they had the right idea...but bad execution.

Zelda- I got caught on the second quest, trying to find level 9...traded the game to a friend, and two years later he asked for his game back. I asked him he he knew where level 9 was, and he told me, and the light bulb went off. I finished the second quest that night.

I preferred the stand up arcade versions of those two games.

Defender gave me fits- too many buttons!

One of the older kids told me "Hey, you your left thumb for reverse!" and the game became better. Missile Command- I am looking to restore one when I get the $$.

I want a shot at the World Record.

Agreed.

Zelda drove me nuts(I got stuck on that level too!), but now I see it as a
precursor to more tactical games like "Civilization II" for PS1. I love that
game and still play it on my PS2 today.

My Brother-in-Law could play it ALL DAY on one quarter.

I had trouble with the stand-up game.

Atari made less than 100 of these cockpit models:
