Vintage Atari Games #FBF

I've tried to explain Atari games to my boys. They don't get it. They have Xbox Systems, Wiis, and iPods to play on.  They simply don't know the struggle that is trying to play on an Atari. 

It was also vintage fun. 

I played many of these games. Man we loved Breakout, Pac-Man, and Home Run. We also had a game called Pit Fall.  Awesome memories.

Did you play any of these?

Anyone else have this poster adorning their walls when they were a kid?

E.T. for the ATARI 2600 #FlashBackFriday

I had this game as a kid, which would be why I still have a copy of the instruction booklet kicking around. Yes, this is the same E.T. game who's main claim to fame is that it was so wretched and sold so poorly that thousands (or perhaps even millions) of copies were buried in a landfill.
