after no video games, it will be books: either J.R.R. Tolkien for Jason or Jane Austen for Paige

It was the same night , 10 years ago, that a Ms Andy F. send iFruit a little customer suggestion about “a tiny TV set and video game that could fit in my kids pocket” …

I just wish there was some device where you could each do your own thing, keep your head down and not bother with anyone else.

I remember when I was a child, always losing the battle for the living room color TV. I’d always end up watching what I wanted on my parents’ black & white TV. When I was a teenager my parents got me my own little B&W TV, which I took with me when I got married. Eventually, my husband & I got a color TV. After that, I remember the first time I saw “Yellow Submarine” in color! I would watch it almost every time it came on TV, but always in B&W!

At age 14, I got a summer job selling cotton candy at an amusement park. I saved up my money and bought a black and white “luggable” TV so I could watch what I wanted to. I had that TV for more than 20 years.

We argued over “Flying Nun” vs “Get Smart”. We lived next door to a convent, and the nuns voted for Get Smart

very progressive comic at the time suggesting that a girl has a genuine interest in video games.

Oh yeah… X-Wing… That’s some good nostalgia

Make them reach each other’s books and write a report of the loss of more and more benefits.

I miss X-Wing. I want my old, old, old, old, old computer back.
