$40 was a lot of money in 1983. I was working two jobs making around $3.50 an hour. A movie cost $2 or $3. Used to love going to happy joes pizza and mall playing asteroids, donkey Kong, Pac-Man etc. Liked defender but it ate my quarters quickly. I beat galaga after a couple weeks playing took about 2 1/2 hours so my quarters went a long ways in that game. Used to play at a friend's house who had a Atari 2600 and thought it was amazing playing combat, bezerk etc. Nowadays I think we should destroy tech before it destroys us.

Hollywood suggested retail price for wizard games. 1983 Halloween....$39.95 1983 Texas chainsaw massacre....$39.95

Atari 5200 game.

Was helping my cousin with a big lvp job. I told him about the encounter I had and he showed me this picture he took a couple years ago. He lives in Appalachian remote golf course. Is it a large black bear track or something else.

Another Jaguar battlesphere gold cib. I was going to attempt to play this but didn't have a Jaguar system. Instead have a Sega CD unit.

Sealed double dragon ntsc for the Atari 2600. Took a swing at Tarzan but was knocked off the vine by donkey Kong.

I bought these just for the Atari labels to display in my collection. Not sure what system played these 8 track tapes . There's a red 2600 by kaybee games in the museum that may be one of a kind??????

Spooky times! If you get a chance to pickup a boxed Frankenstein monster do it. The box is tough to get and should appreciate nicely. Macro, geopolitical not looking good. Paying off as much debt as possible is the thing to do if possible.

Place was packed, the arcade was just like arcade's of the 80s packed. Got to play galaga again , beat the game in the 80s two weeks after it originally came out scored 999,999 after that rolled back to zero and became easy again. First time playing galaga since then. The train museum was very neat as well. Just one collector donated his entire collection to make this up. It's a non profit and they lease the space for free which is nice from the city of Frisco Texas.

Attempting the national video game museum in Frisco Texas today if we can make it through big D traffic. Pics to follow later.

The kiss cart. Such an 80s marketing ploy.

It was welcome to Pennsylvania for us on the very first hike in the state. It was definitely scary, unwanted and very unexpected. I should have bought you're game I think it was a limited release. Now you might have to do a part 2. You definitely don't want to have a real life encounter.

Pennsylvania is remote but nothing like Idaho. I don't think I would hike or camp in Idaho because you're in grizzly and r10 country . We went to Dillon Montana during covid lockdowns and some local was telling me about hunter grizzly attacks in Idaho not far from Dillon. Also the possibility of getting lost in that expansive woods. I guess if you wanted some r10 activity have your buddies take you where they had theirs, but they probably don't want to go back. Our Pennsylvania occurrence definitely intimidated us and we turned immediately around after high pitched whistle that lasted for 30 seconds.
