I got an Atari 2600 for Xmas of '77.... before that I had been SCARED of video games with their black and white graphics. Even pinball made me nervous. But when I got the Atari and found out games were in color I stopped being scared of games.... more arcade games were starting to be in color too like GALAXIAN.... and I wasn't scared of SPACE INVADERS either. Thank you for all you have done Atari..... even if the Crash put you in a negative light.

Holy Hell did you guys pay attention to that Toys R" Us deal?! I thought GameStop gouged you to death...oh no, Toy's R" Us was out to really screw you. Buy any Parker Brothers game for $30-$35 while trading two games in for $15 dollar coupon. That's insane and I bet people did it. I didn't start playing games until 1986 with the Nes and Master System. What always got me was how different people saw games back then as compared to the 3rd generation... My father told me people would buy games for $30 to $50 bucks and play them for 20 minutes at a time. It was as he put it, something you picked up and played for a little while then did something else. He thinks it's crazy that we can spend 100 hours in a game today.

Yeah, that toys r us deal was really something! It’s amazing to see how prices fluctuate. It’s funny because I remember my parents telling me they only liked games that you could “pick up and play”, like you described. They liked playing racing games and crazy taxi with us but when it came to the really long games just the kids would play. It’s interesting to see how interest in games and what kinds of games played differs from generation to generation.

I think that was a Parker Bros deal that Toys r Us was promoting. My favorite time for buying games was in 83-84. I owned 4 consoles & a C64. Every store that sold games started throwing them in bins and charging 3 for $20, 5 for $30. The more popular ones were still behind a counter, but they were around $10. My parents would buy me anywhere from 1-5 games at that time whenever we went to Zodys or Gemco. Even SaveOn would have heavy discounts from time to time on cartridges. Federated was still pricey. I’d really come up on Bdays and Xmas during those years. Even though the game industry was dying, there were plenty of games and peripherals to be had.
