I remember my first computer.. it was an Apple II+ with dual 5-1/4 drives and the amber/black monitor. I think we paid just under $2400.00 for it. looking back I think those older computers were faster than these today, seems like you didn't have to wait as long for stuff to load.... ahh... the good ole days.. lol Love these old commercials.

I played everyone of those games on my NES. I had the first release NES with Robbie the Robot. It did not go over well, so the second release of the NES did not include it. I lost all my game consoles in the divorce. I had s 2600 with about 70 games, Sega genesis, SNES, N64. The whole bitch of this is that the ex never did anything with them. They were supposedly never un-boxed. However, I bet she sold them all. She just did not want me to have them. Man! I played everyone of those games on my NES.

My Commodore 128 manual had a picture of a student carrying his 128 to class--no cables, drives, or TV. I love how they always tried to make their products look more capable than they really were.
