   I was playing with my 2600 and Vic 20 as my first  video game experiences.   
   My friend bought Pong but that simple ass paddle game was so expensive.   
   Right around the time you were playing with your Colecovision, my brother   
   and I convinced our parents to get us each a Vectrex where we played   
   Minestorm and Scramble and Armor Attack until we passed out.  I know I am   
   not the oldest in here by a long shot but you better believe that there are   
   probabably some fuddy duddies that put you to shame.
