Stella'sGhost Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 Pretty good overall, except that back then we called it an Atari, but by 1984 you had to call it a 2600 to designate it from the 5200 or the 7800 or the computers. At any rate, my story is not as interesting, I just asked my folks if I could have one, they said, uh, ok. But check this out, in 1990 I lent all my games- probably around 70+ (not my actual atari - just the games) to a close family friend, indefinitely, because I didn't play with the games anymore. So years later I ask him if I can have my games back, he goes: " Man, I think my mom sold them in a garage sale." I am still mad to this day.

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but the 6th edition has already been published...and your story isn't in there. It's a good story anyway.

Adriana Posted March 10, 2002 Author Share Posted March 10, 2002 Er... oops! I meant the 7TH EDITION of the Digital Press Collector's Guide. My bad. You can rate the story at the bottom of the page where it says "rate this topic." Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc4 Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 That's a pretty good story. Kid of reminds me of the "Christmas Story" by Jean Shepherd. You know the one they play five hundered times on the tele at Christmas. Good story and funny. I would definitly watch this as a short episode of your life on the tube. I'm thinking an episode of "Freaks and Geeks." Best show ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
