Went to a garage sale today and found a fully mint in box Vic-20 if anyone remembers them? I first started playing games on this old monster! LOL! It only cost $2 :P

I also found 3 Sega 32X games for a $1, they are Star Wars Arcade, Shadow Squadron and super streetfighter.

....Cool! So you're reliving the sega days

Vic-20 is like the grandfather of all console systems. Keep this in good condition

I thought PONG was the Daddy of al consule games!? :(

Read the article that the link given by E.T. leads to.... made me chuckle....

Can't say i really remeber those old computers.....

I can remeber old Commodores though... they were famous for having graphics on each key and they where the first computers you really began to see in schools..... I think they were Commodore 64s.. could be wrong though.

My first computer was a TRS-80 mabe by Tandy I believe and sold via Radio Shack.

I remeber I use to be on that thing for hours writing littile programs that were basicly like choose your own path stories..... it would put out some text and then leave you choices to pick from and it went on from there.......

My Fateher took it away because I was spending to much time on it.... too bad I guess..... I never really had a chance to get into computers again....

Anyways... it sounds like an awesome find.... be sure to keep it nice, dry, and in a warm place. :)
