This was my absolute favourite toy in the 80s
It only had 3 levels and one volume - LOUD! The 'alien invaders' changed colour as they got closer to the bottom of the screen - but only because the plastic on the screen had different colours on it! If you tilted it you could see different colours. I still have it somewhere and, apart from the tape holding the batteries in, it still works fine“Do not postpone happiness”

The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

Kida now a days won't ever have the joy of watching cheezy simplistic kids shows...Amazon is going to revamp Sigmund and the Seamonsters. I loved that show as a kid, along with Land of the Lost...in all its cheezy silly glory.

I don't expect much from the new show, but I suddenly felt really old when I saw this.The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

My brother had a Commodore 64 computer and we used to buy computer magazines with game codes. I would sit there and type 50 pages of code in just to be able to play a simple game of pong. Kids these days don't know our struggles of the 80's!!0

Hahaha! I remember the first computer I used was a Commodore PET, it was just a big expensive word processor.Gillycw said:My brother had a Commodore 64 computer and we used to buy computer magazines with game codes.

I learned coding on an Apple IIe
I even coded the pixellated pictures in color despite the screen being in phosphorus green. When the school finally was able to afford 4 Apple IIgs computers (for the entire school to share) I got to see my pics in color, I was so excited. They even required the kids to earn a 'computer licence' to have the privilege of touching/using the new compunters...I spent way too much time playing ' The Oregon Trail'.Post edited by RKCNDY onThe joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

My dad used to have me ride behind him and my brother in front of him on this motorcycle when he had to go to the liquor store to get another 6 pack. I would hold it against my side so tight so I didn't drop it. One arm holding my dad, one arm holding the beer. What were helmets?0
