Wood ing would be pretty Boss. Imagine what kind of unique and customisable engravings players could make, either with heat, laser, or hand. Taking the s off beforehand, of course.

Like me, I mean Atari, Pac-Man, and stuff came out before I was born, but I still love retro gaming stuff. Even some kids nowadays love retro games, so it’s not as unusual as people think.

IT’S WORKING!
Thanks! I haven’t gotten to play this game since I was a child.

I just had to find the games online. (Space Goose runs so fast though that it’s impossible to play. I need to figure out how to fix that.)
Not that any of my old disks would run on new computers anyway. Even with an appropriate drive.
@TexasUberAlles
First thing I could play games on was my dad’s top of the line computer with an amazing 512 megabytes of hard drive space, 128 kilobytes of ram and seven different games. (I actually still play a couple of them, to be honest.) Command only DOS, none of this background and clicking.
The games themselves were kept on 5 1/4 inch floppy disks and I had to learn command prompts to boot them up. (Yet I never learned how to program.)
@Background Human
Yeah, those first and second gen consoles were hella expensive for their time, but I have friends who still occasionally play the same 2600s they got as kids; I’m pretty sure the latest Stations Of Play and Boxes Of X won’t still be running games thirtyforty years from now, assuming we even survive Hell Year 2020.
@TexasUberAlles
Nice. My parents had something similar: the Sears Hockey-Jokari. (There were a lot of rebadged consoles in those days.)
No light gun, but four types of Pong and two detachable paddles. Not the first console I playing—that would be either the NES or the 5200—but I did find it in the basement and play with it a little in the mid-’90s. Still worked.

PlayStation was the first console I ever played
This was the first console game I played. You could flip a toggle switch to play as many as five different games!
I didn’t own it, it very definitely belonged to friends of my family when I was a kid, which still baffles me, because I somehow still have (most of the pieces of) the light gun which came with it.
@Background Human
Never actually seen a CED in person, but I do have a box full of 8 track cartridges.
Y’know, sense Atari was before my time, for a long time I didn’t know it existed for a long time, and I used to think as a kid that Nintendo was the first game home system.

That’s Grundel the green dragon. The other dragons were Yorgle the yellow and Rhindle the red.

DOSBox lets you throttle the emulation speed. Ctrl-F11 to slow down, Ctrl-F12 to speed up. Even online.

I am so irritated that I can’t find the box of 5¼ Apple][ compatible game discs I used to have.

Yeah, yeah, we’ve all heard your stories about CEDs, grandpa.
Oh yeah, never thought of that. Geese are monsters. XD
