Atariboy2600 Posted September 13 Author Share Posted September 13 In 1976 Mattel released Pulsar, the Ultimate Man of Adventure! Pulsar was a little taller than Six Million Dollar Man and instead of bionic parts, he had pumping organs! GROSS! But as a 70s kid it was cool. 1976 TV ad https://youtu.be/F2Dqoawk6k0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atariboy2600 Posted September 17 Author Share Posted September 17 I LOVE my C64 to this day and it was my very first official home computer on 82 and it was the first in my life I went ONLINE using modem and connect to a BBS (Bulletin Board Systems) to read messages and download games LONG before online was a thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy2600 Posted September 17 Author Share Posted September 17 If you grew up as a 80s kid like me as a C64 gamer you tend to "Get Out OF Control" with controllers and that happen to me from OG Atari joysticks to off brand joystick controllers from Spectravideo, Suncom, Amiga Powerstick and my fave one Wico Command Control aka The Bat Stick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy2600 Posted September 17 Author Share Posted September 17 1980 Commodore VIC-20.

BassGuitari Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Incredible collection, thanks for sharing! For a while I've been thinking I need to do what you're doing and post pics of all (well, most) of my stuff. Even just thinking about getting it all out, setting it up, and packing it back up is pretty daunting, though--extra kudos for doing that! 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
