Video Game Nostalgia
The air hanging above our apartment here in the Wrigleyville neighborhood of Chicago (other than smelling like feet) is filled with sadness lately. Lately, my roommates have been in a craze for an Xbox 360 (along with "Halo 3," "Gears of War," and "Guitar Hero III"). I, however, have been nostalgic for one thing.
This tiny machine plugs directly into your television for all of your gaming needs (and I'm pretty sure there's one lying around in the back room of mom and dad's house).
What's so great about it? Everything!
- Exhibit A - Dig Dug. The greatest game ever. What does it involve? You're a little guy who digs around and explodes the enemy with some kind of pump or something.
- Exhibit B - Galaxian. An incredible space based 8-bit game.
- Exhibit C - Pac Man. Need I say more?
To be frank, the rest of the exhibits aren't really worth talking about. But this is an incredible device (with many others that are quite similar to it). Now to get one of the unused TVs in our apartment and one of these little suckers.
