I'll be 60 on the 14th of October and these commercials bring back the awesome memories of the 1970's thank you.🇺🇲📺🇺🇲

When my son was young, he had a lot of gaming consoles. They were rewards after long, stressful days at school. I bet he'll be very happy reminiscing about his childhood

Wow! All throughout the late '60s & early '70s, I played with Lite-Brite. I'd buy many of the black design sheets and would do one before I went to bed 4-5 nights every week. Probably my 2nd favorite toy after Marx Civil War toy soldier sets. Great memories.

I not only have a view master but i can make the pictures with the stereo camera required. Its amazing how much the thing costs even though kids dont care for this anymore.

Sizzlers were a blast. They were one of the first rechargeable toys.

One of my friends had a Star Bird space ship (from the same firm as Big Trak) and a 2-XL robot that had interactive tapes but was really an 8 track player.

For those interested in playing the Atari 2600 without cartridges, there's the modern Atari Gamestation Pro. Though you all may want to wait for the second generation due to demands for a more proper dial paddle on the controller. There's also the upcoming Gamestation Go.

It is what you make of it Debbie Downer! Geez!

Fun fact, Atari eventually released the Atari 2600 Jr.; which is a less bulk version of the original.

The guy said you needed 6 C size batteries but I paused the video and looked at the packaging and I read it only takes 3 AA batteries.

Always wanted a hoppity hop full of helium as a kid.

I had that baseball game! B

Pac-Man for the 2660 could've easily been better. The person in charge of the project was forced to rush it out. Ms. Pac-Man was good on the 2600. Thankfully we have the unofficial Pac-Man 4K to substitute the original effort.
