Nintendo the 21st Best Toy of All Time--WTF?

[Craig3410]

That's about 20 spots too low, bub.


Seriously, is there another toy that's eaten up more of your time?

[realisticphish]

1. I didn't have one

we couldn't afford video games when i was a kid

2. There were no video games when I was a kid.

Etch-A-Skctch, Tinker Toys and Lincoln Logs, baby.
Teevee was also black and white, and went off the air around midnight with a test pattern. Three, maybe four channels, if you had local UHF stations. And us kids were the remote.

4. I was born 2 years after Mario came out...

and I'm in college.

I know people that that would scare.

:scared:

6. So what will you do when the lights go out?

Stop making me feel old.

7. You got it!

And the channel changer went "clunk clunk clunk" around the dial...

9. And there was aluminum foil on the rabbit ears.

Let's see who decodes that.

10. Or what we called the "Sheboygan antenna."

That was the antenna on the roof with a rotor, or two antennas on one pole, one facing Green Bay, the other Milwaukee. :-)

14. Wow. You were really out there.

Kids these days, they don't know from radio waves.

3. What!!?? Not PONG!!??

I did love Nintendo though. Especially the the really deep games like Castlevania and Kid Icarus. Tecmo Bowl ruled it too.

Zelda II: The Adventure of Link is a close second.
