I think I was too busy being born or something like that. ...yay for responding to a topic which has been dead for over half a month. And making everyone else involved feel really fecking old in the process, ta for that. =-) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegamezmaster Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 ATARI 400 Same here with a cassette player, when price dropped to $100 IIRC. I think it was 1982? Just to play Star Raiders! Great memories! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
