ClassicGMR Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 (edited) This isn't a video of me but in 1984 I also was fortunate enough to open the best toy ever! Also it's October 25th so that means... Edited October 26, 2022 by ClassicGMR Somehow the wrong video was linked. Weird. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I was 7.5 years old by Christmas 1982, but have no particular memories. Of course I lived on another continent than the clip is from, but we had our share of electronic entertainment too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cebus Capucinis Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I was -1 years old (yes, negative one!) and I remember it vividly. Such a great time to be a ghost haunting Sears. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicgamer Posted October 30, 2022 Author Share Posted October 30, 2022 I miss K-Mart. My first job was at K-Mart. And I miss 3-D. Anyone remember 3D stores (apparently, they were only in Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan)? The first time I tried out a Colecovision was at a 3-D. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danners?wprov=sfla1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 As a programmer, I'm fully aware that OCT 30 = DEC 24 so time to put up my Christmas lights. Probably the first one in my neighborhood to do so. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Usually I wait until one week before Christmas to put up the lights, but after the switch from DST to "regular" time zone (*) yesterday, I found it to be so dark that in a spin of the moment, I put up the lights. (*) Sunrise 07:10 AM, sunset 04:00 PM and for each day we get 5 minutes less of daylight from now on until December 22. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time I tried out a Colecovision was at a 3-D. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danners?wprov=sfla1 K-Mart was a favorite simply because they had year-round layaway. I took advantage of that as young as 9 years old with my paper route money. They’d let me put stuff on layaway and I’d ride down every week to pay into it. Got my first b&w 13” tv for my room all by myself that way. Was awesome. Never had a 3-D up here in the northeast. Our biggest “bottom rung” chain was J.J. Newberry’s. By the early to mid 80’s it was failing badly in my area though they did well as a chain until the latter 90’s. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainBreakout Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 We had Big Lots and Tuesday Morning in the Bay Area. I kept hoping I'd see a Air Raid show up in the Tuesday Morning, since there's a picture of one floating around on the net with a Tuesday Morning price tag on the box. Didn't have any luck there with that kind of wishful thinking. 😆 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
