Are you young?????

Among which groups of people?!?

 

yfs1, how did my post get in before yours? I know I'm fast but answering posts before theyre made is a first for me

 

Well, I waited to see if anyone more than SE would guess but they didn't so I posted the answer. You answered at the same time so it looked weird since you said 85 and I had already revealed the answer.

I deleted my post and reposted after you but then you quoted my deleted post so it got all messed up.

Thats what I get

 

The best I could come up with was some theory of the time for the post being set by my local computer and that posts were sorted by that time (which I then ruled out as I know pretty well that that's impossible).

Thanks for descrewing my head (while no thanks for screwing it up in the first place )

 

I was just about to post about that! I had a pong and breakout game.

I actually remember seeing my first ever computer game it was pong and it was installed in our local supermarket...I must have been about 12 or 13

and now I've shown my age

 

Who had time for the mat, all you needed was a folded over bottle cap and you were Carl Lewis.

 

Why does every thread have to get hi-jacked by this quest to find Nintendos true sexual identity?

 

Lol - Believe me when I say I want no part of that


Chachi - Whats the bottle cap trick- I never heard of that one

 

Agree! Maybe we can keep Nino's sex stuff in just a couple of threads.

 

Basically, you fold over a bottle cap, smooth side out. Then, grasping it between the thumb and forefinger, you shuffle it back and forth over the A and B buttons. Boom, you are { insert your favorite track star here }.

 

In all my years I never heard of that nor did I come up with it on my own. I can't believe I never thought of it

 

Clearly, I would have kicked your ass

 

A friend of mine had a joystick with a "stick part" heavy enough so that when holding the base of the joystick in your hand you could get a pendulum motion going that was just perfect for those types of games (winter games, summer games, etc). Of course not for Nintendo but the C64.

 

Let me tell you something, if you had put a bottle cap on your finger to play against one of us, the video game would have been the least of your worries.

We were some serious gamers in the early days.

 

lol. Well, I will say this, you probably would have beat me at track and field. But, only because I would have been laughing at your punk ass while you were running on that stupid mat!

 

Yeah I can vouch for that. yfs1 carried his powerglove around in its own case

 

Hahaha - what the hell is that!?!?

 

Hodgeup is actually right...I did have a power glove


But alas no case

 

What did it do?

 

Pretty much it worked like the regular Nintendo pad. It had all the buttons on it. With a few games, you were supposed to be able to use the actual glove but it never worked right.
