I get told plenty by a couple friends that post here that anything pre 1975 is the same as 1675. sounds like playing intellivision growing up is the cut off, which means i made the cut. only by a few years, though.

I had the later generation of this, the Odyssey2, when I was a teenager. It wasn't Atari or Intellivision, but it held its own! But almost every weekend now, I treat myself to my favorite game ever -- SSX Tricky. My sons even bought me a beat-up, used PlayStation 2 and an old copy of SSX Tricky, so I can relive the "old" days (SSX came out in the early 2000s ). Of course, the physics in SSX are completely goofy and impossible, but damn, is it fun doing those uber-tricks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember wasting way too much time playing "Cosmic Disturbance" on a friend's Odyssey 2! Not to mention space invaders on the 2600. I used the "two shot cheat" too, where you press the reset button and power button at the same time so your cannon shoots twice with the press of the fire button. Even so, it was easy enough to "flip" the score counter (>9999) without doing that. Just got there quicker! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We semi-mock the simple graphics of these early-gen consoles back in the 1980s....but they were REALLY fun, and I think the simplicity had a lot to do with that. Pick up and play, damn it! Easy to learn and adapt. The PlayStation 2 (for which I still have that copy of the SSX Tricky snowboarding game) was one of the last consoles that was still somewhat easy to pick up and adapt to. Console games have gotten SO damn complicated now...I try to play football, hockey or soccer on the PS5 with one of my adult sons but get routinely routed by them....because I can't keep all of the complicated button-mashing straight. It may have something to do with my, you know, AGE, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was there, I’d be very drunk. Gin, club soda, lime. 4.5” depth on the deck but between the wind and earlier melting from the late March sun angle, would guess 5”+. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was ( 25) at 8pm . Yep, gusts around 30-35 a few times. I’ve got 26 on the weather station for the temp. Snow has been coming down good the last few hours. Seems like at least 8” should be a good bet at this rate. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
