I actually remember X-mas 30 years ago and Video games were not on my list. The Atari 2600 would set you back 200 dollars and that was actually close to what my parents were paying for there mortgage. The games were between 39.99 and 49.99 back then also. Electronic Handheld games like Mattel Basketball, Football, and Baseball were more common in households in the hood.

We finally had an Atari during the summer of 81 and Atari basketball was my favorite game. After seeing how far video games have come I think graphics and ai have improved but there is so much more for people to complain about like the wrong color headband or rim color it just make gaming not as fun.

I miss the good ole days.
