Apparently the Carolina Panthers needed to practice with the Matell Hand-held Football game as well. I named what that cool looking gizmo was in the blog entry because I knew some of you self-professed geeks are posers and couldn't figure out what that thingy was...
That proves we are getting older. I remember when handheld games were a bunch of dots, and consoles were low-res TV screens that scrolled across. Intellivison was fun (I had a cheaper version called Tandyvision), Atari was the best that teens and twenty year olds like you and me had back in the 1980s.
Shannon: I had the first pong game which was *mechanical* How's that? BTW if you wish to go back to the good ole years, search for an Atari 2600 emulator (Stella is the one I used to use). I can think of no other thing to do than to make my UUGM cry out as I make it and the BFG 7800GTX OC run Atari 2600 games
Tim: You want to feel old - that's easy - those games have now been re-released a few months ago and the kids are playing them now. They call it retro-gaming... ack. Bastards.
Vinnie,
I had a home pong game in 1975. Just two paddle controllers to move two paddles on tv to keep a little square ball from going off screen. I could never win. As for Pro Football Season, I don't care who goes to the Superbowl. Just the team that plays their heart out to get there.
