Video Games Recap, MCA, Exploding Heads

Posted on FB for people to share what video games (full size) they played as kids, and wow, what a response.  Lots of memories. I remember playing lots of video games at Nathan's in Carle Place, at Laces, and at Our Place (and Our Place 2) at Birthday parties, on trips to A.C. with the folks and on people's Coleco, Nintendo, Odyssey, Intellivision, Commodore 64, Apple 2 C's, etc...  If kids today saw this stuff they'd laugh at us.

My Personal Top 10 in no order:
Paperboy, 720, Dragons Lair, Rolling Thunder, Star Wars (the one in the X Wing Fighter), Galaga, Punch Out, Track And Field (roller ball only), Adams Family Pinball, and Gauntlet (despite the cost)

Honorable mention to Journey, the videogame, based on the band.  Hysterical!

Been listening to The Beastie Boys for the past three hours.  RIP Adam Yauch, AKA MCA.
Rap , Party, Rest... In Peace.  Cancer SUCKS!


Do you own a car that makes your head feel like it is going to explode when you have one rear window open?  Rest easy, you are not alone...

My head hurts just thinking about it.  Makes me think of Schwarzeneger in Total Recall.  I am disturbed that this movie is being remade, deeply.

Mets are still over .500 and playing good ball.

Have a great weekend everyone!!!
