DominiRican05 Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 A while back I saw reruns of VH1's I Love the 80s, The 80s Strike Back: 1982, and it had a segment on Colecovision. Did their 70s counterpart do a segment on the 2600? It would be cool to see some original commercials and here what they had to say about it.

Ferris Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Haven't seen one on the 70's yet, but I do have the Coleco/Atari one from I love 1982 available here - http://www.atari7800.com/html/video.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the people they talked to was Rob Thomas or Match box 20, he said he loved Atari. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint Thompson Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 I caught part of the 80's one and it rocked (and was extremely long!) haha... good stuff though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzTron451 Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 (edited) Yeah, it's fun to flash-back to the days of old. Can't say I haven't seen that episode, Domini. But I have seen an episode where they mentioned the PS. It was rather funny, too, in a strange sort of way. Bobby Lee said it would be the greatest system only if it had a sex-hole imbedded into the system, itself.

DominiRican05 Posted May 6, 2005 Author Share Posted May 6, 2005 LOL! I love how they always manage to work in the sexual innuendo wherever they can. Makes the decades that much more memorable. Nice icon by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Mitchell Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 I seem to remember that they had a focus on Pong too. Rob Mitchell, Atlanta, GA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZylonBane Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Can't say I haven't seen that episode, Domini. So you've seen it then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildBillTX Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 (edited) I remember one I love the 80's where the guests went crazy over the Mattel Football handhelds. I always enjoy watching those Vh-1 80's specials, always a fun and irreverent review of 80's pop culture. Havent seen the new 70's ones yet. Also thanks to Ferris and Atari7800 for also posting "Alan - A Video Junkie" - I saw this originally in 1982, a SNL classic. Go download it, its a huge file but worth it.
