My Daughter's 8th grade teacher brought a 2600 & Vectrex to class.

I'll have to get the details again, but she said that her teacher brought some old technology in to science class, and 2 of the items were a 2600, and a Vectrex.

The best part was she was able to help out the teacher having problems with the Vectrex!

Teacher - "have you seen one of these before?"

Daughter - "yes"

Teacher - "do you know how to use it?"

Daughter - "yes"

Teacher - "is it you parents'?"

Dayghter - "yes"

LOL, I loved it.

Ever see the video of a teenager trying to figure out how to make a cassette walkman work? Priceless.

Cool! Now you just need a proud parent bumper sticker. Something that says "When talking about classic video games my kid is smarter then yours!".

I need to get my daughter to ask her teacher for more details, for sure!

I was thoroughly entertained by the fact that her teacher brought it in, and my Daughter could help!

"My kid is more retro than yours!"

Make sure to check what games the teacher has, could be unkowingly sitting on a small fortune

Probably something dirt common like a MineStorm cart...

As we can see, kids who were shown " our era" of classic gaming by their parents are at an intellectual advantage.
