    I have to show this to my husband!!!!

    Something reminded me of it the other day, so I described it and asked if he ever had one. He looked at me like I was a crazy person speaking another language.

    I remember plastic shoes, plastic neon shoelaces, and plastic glasses with no lenses, just plastic lines running across where lenses might otherwise be.

    ETA: I tried to resize it, but my internet at work is having troubles. I miss Popples, they were fun and cuddly. :blushing:

    This was my 80's. I busted out the emulator and Dragon Warrior on my last work trip.

    What are these?

    Intellivision --> ugly cousin to Atari. Didn't last nearly as long, but actually had some pretty good games....

    It actually had better games.

    Remember the "original video games".... The little things filled with water and the buttons to get the rings on the pegs.. or the basketball one.

    I thought you were talking about these:

    I remember when electronic football games went from this.....

    Anyone enjoying this thread that needs a good read, check out "Ready Player One" on Kindle.

    It's set in the future but it's about the 80's. Joust!

    Oh how many quarters were swallowed by joust in the day...

    and battlezone was another popular arcade game....

    and only because it is MFP, what 80s arcade game collection would not be complete without.....
