davyK Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Oh so THAT'S why it does that. I never knew that. Thanks Flojo! Early example of a screensaver. Became better known in PC times when a screensaver was used to prevent burn-in on CRT PC monitors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 So how did your project turn out, or are you still doing it? 2600 was my first love, and I got in as it was going out, so I got a large collection of games cheap. I certainly played it well beyond its sell by date, well still do LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Mitchell Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I got the VCS in the fall of 1977 and had all the launch carts except Math. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCoolDave Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Yea, really, I have been a gamer from when I was 8, with an atari 2600... and have owned/still own almost every video game system from that point... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I essentially had all the 8-bit consoles at one time or another, in the 70's and 80's. And some 16-bit units too. For varying reasons they were disposed of along the way and replaced with emulation. And emulation remains my #1 method of playing the classics. It's a shame that nearly everyone hates on it. But..whatever.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prizrak Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 My first console was the 2600 but growing up I did get to play with an original odyssey and intellivision. Later a NES and then a whole lot more up till around 2001. After that my gamer phase took a backseat because of family and kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+LS650 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I was there back in the day, as a 10-year old playing Combat on the VCS when it first came out in 1977. Good times... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sociologist Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 Hey guys, just a note that I'm presenting an early version of the paper to the Pacific Sociological Association conference in a month. Academic things can take awhile with the juggling of multiple simultaneous responsibilities (teaching, writing, job market), etc. Will update - cheers! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhd Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 While I doubt anyone here will be attending this conference, here are the session details just in case: Session 117 OCC 206 Friday • 15:30 PM–17:00 PM Art, Culture, and Popular Culture: Video Games: All Fun & Games?
