So as the original poster of this question, I feel I need to add more of my own content. These are all awesome stories by the way. My game selection was limited in the beginning. Like I said initially, I had Combat, Bowling, and the borrowed games from friends and family. I actually can't remember the next game I owned. Anyways, I was playing bowling one night and I remember there was some construction going on down the road. I want to say some telephone pole work or something like that. Anyways, its relatively late at night for a 7 year old and I am sitting about a foot away from this big old, console, Zenith TV. It's dark and I think my parents are in another room or something. In fact, to create more of the mood, I think I am sitting up with a blanket over my head so it's just me and the bowling alley. Anyways, all of a sudden, my TV is talking to me. I am hearing these garbled voices coming from the TV! It sounds like human voices but I can't make out what they are saying. Imagine my terror as I go running to get my mom. I think Poltergeist had just come out so I might have had some fears about the TV people coming to get me. It turns out, our TV was picking up some of the radio conversations between the phone company repair people. It freaked out my little mind but I think I still regrouped for a solid 235 game!
