Thank you honorentheos for bumping this thread. Made my innards smile going through it again.

My Atari days were a lot later than yours. I was razzle-dazzled by the far superior graphics of Pole Position on my Atari 2600.
(On a black-and-white TV
)ETA: And of course, R.B.I. Baseball, which was mind-blowing because it had a unique pitching graphic for Eckersley.

I can not tell you how many hours I wasted on this thing:
Arguably the hardest video game I ever played as a child.

My other favorite was a plastic toy gun that you could load like 20 plastic "disks" in it, and shoot it like a real gun.
(ah, it was a Disk Gun or Tracer Gun, pic below)
Sadly liberals "banned" that toy, like they ban everything, cause "can't have plastic disks flying through the air and maybe hit kids eyes".
by the way, did you know liberals banned "Lawn Darts"?
Did you also know they banned "Cork Guns"?
Did you also know they banned the "Slip n Slide" (the original)?
What makes you think liberals were involved? For instance:

I had a similar reaction reading back through it.
