I remember how much push-back my parents gave me about getting one. My older brother had a Coleco and that was enough.
When the family finally got Nintendo my dad put it in his room because he became addicted to tetris. It was a struggle to get him to hook it back up in the living room. :excitement::highly_amused:
I used to play Pac-Man with a floppy drive in a 286 machine with the awesomeness of 2Mb in ram, in a 15 crt monitor and keyboard, back in the 80's beginning of 90's
