What did you eat while playing 2600?

[shadow460]

I must have gotten your used Donkey Kong cartridge. Tell me what flavor was that ice cream sandwich and I'll tell you if I got your cart or not.

 

Oh, yeah, then there was the night my Dad and I were playing Star Ship. We were playing the Lunar Lander games, and Dad had been drinking some iced tea. He set the cup down close to the TV screen and moved the moon behind it. I didn't find that silly moon for the rest of the game...

Oh, we NEVER got food on the games, as that would reveal our crime! We also got in trouble with our dad, if we messed up the order/boxes of the VHS tapes... :-(

 

I wonder if that's what trigged my OCPD

Does anybody remember what their favorite food was when playing 2600 games in the late 70's?

 

For me it was Pepsi soda pop and Swanson's TV dinners. The chicken in the aluminum foil trays.. And they came with these impossibly tiny fries in so much grease you could sick it through a straw! Or the macaroni from Stoufers. Or the Ore-Ida tator tots (had those while in the trailer park!) Maybe the silver-dollar round-shaped french fried potatoes. Or... Oh yeh, Tyson's breast patties. Now those went good with BattleStar Galactica or the Six-Million-Dollar-Man. Yeah babycakes!!

 

Of course Twinkies and Fudgesicles too. Along with the requisite McDonald's junk.

 

My favorite, Bar'B'Que potato chips with Philadelphia cream cheese, a delicacy!

 

Babies, raw, no sauce.

So that's where my youngest brother went. I get it now...

The only time I would eat was after I'd get killed in what ever game I was playing at the time and I think most of the time it was junk food like Cupcakes, twinkes and of course a 8 pack of the old glass bottled Coca-Cola.

 

 

Same here

 

I remeber when my parents had just bought me "Swordquest Earthworld" I was going to play it untill I sloved the riddle, i went to my local party store in Detroit and got my 8 pack of Coke, on my way home the bottom of the pack opened up and all 8 bottles fell and broke, I went home with a tear in my eye, my mom asked me what happened? and after telling her she game me another $5.00 bill and I got me another case! of course that was not enough Coke to help me solve that damn game but that is just one of my childhood memories playing Atari 2600.
