Remember when a pair of Levi jeans DID NOT cost $65.00?
Remember when Mc Donalds used to wrap Big Macs with paper, and then went to styrofoam?
Remember when you actually took the time to know who your neighbors were?
Remember putting the latest 8 track in the portable 8 track player and walking down the street like you were the hottest thing happening?
Remember when you could actually debate the history teacher in school with out them saying you are out of control and need prozac?

I think you mean the Coleco Intellivision...they still have not made a better football game IMO. You'd set your players up with a numeric code....
Times have really changed as far as bike riding goes. Seems like Kids today can only ride a bike if they have 8 pieces of safety gear on and their parent running behind them holding the bike seat. And they have to stop and get off the bike at every intersection.

Remember when if you wanted a baseball score you called 976 and it cost .50 and you would have to wait for them to update on the next cycle or you would just get repeated scores. The only sports report you got was 3 minutes on the end of the 11PM news.
My girlfriend knew if we went out on a Friday night she had to bring lots of quarters and I needed to have a pay-phone near by.Thats how you knew that girl loved you if she ponyed up the quarters.

wow thats insane. I appreciate that old school pre-technology life. I can imagine Sunday at 12:55pm running around like a madman trying to find a pay phone, throwing the sucker out of the booth whos on the phone having an innocent BS convo so you can call your guy and get your bet down.

They were two separate consoles
Colecovision was made by Coleco
Intellivision was made by Mattel
I had Intellivision, the horse racing game taught me about odds as a kid
