Nostalgia.
The Commodore 64 was my first. Strat-o-Matic Football and I believe the baseball game was called Pursue the Pennant. Good days.
Do you remember Pac mania? How revolutionary Dragon's Lair was when it came out? Roller Skating Rinks on the weekends where all the ladies were? Drive in movie theatres? Pick up ballgames at the park?
As Archie and Edith sang, "Those were the days."
Yes...yes...yes and yes
Pick up baseball games were an everyday thing in the summer and tackle football with no pads or helmets in the fall.
I remember feeling so sore after those tackle football games and loved every minute of it. I had my "football cloths" which were 2 old sweet pants plus 3 ragged shirts along with old socks cut off and used for elbow and knee pads.
Somebody always left the field ****** and banged up and evereybody came back the following weekend to play it again.
We never had much fights because everyone who played earned respect so it was like a right of passage into manhood. You might not have liked everyone who played vut you had to respect em!!
