Old but the best . . .

I don't play computer or video games. I must be really old because I just don't get them. Watching kids holding controllers in their hands, their thumbs going all spaz at a million miles an hour, and I can't make heads or tails out of whatever it is that''s going on on the screen. Either that or it's just an absurd amount of violence, and gore . . . (seriously, is it any wonder why kids are killing each other armed with entire arsenals these days?)

I have a golf simulator which is the only game I play on my computer . . .

until yesterday, when I came across this . . .




PONG. That's what computer gaming is all about and it doesn't get any better than that.

You might be right...

Its got 16...that's right 16 whole games of pong.

The paddles' wires look like a cheap AM radio antenna.

I might hook it up and see if it still works....looks brand new.

Just have to get a way to hook up the old screw on RF hookup.
