  1. That was awesome I had or played with all of the. I forgot about Merlin. I was a boss with the clackers. Monaco Gp was my favorite game. Pong and space invaders. And a football ⚽️ game game that made almost no sense

    1. The football game was the metal playing field that vibrates and sends players every direction, right?

    2. My family had that football game. We'd get it out, set it up and watch it do its spasms for a minute or so and then put it away. There wasn't any point to it other than the novelty.

  5. Best thing about those old phones were, no sound limiters.
    Someone was making heavy breathing noises when they called my sister.
    She got a call one night, I grabbed the handset, held it out the kitchen window and fired a .45 off beside the mouthpiece.
    Calls ended.

    1. Don't just Read that. Take a moment. Visualise the guy's face as he dabs the blood trickling from his ear.
      Okay, Now you can laugh..

  6. That was cool. A few others offhand would be the analog counter on gasoline pumps, service station alarm bells, television channel knob being turned, the sound of a cigarette lighter popping out, an analog alarm clock rolling it's numbers, "Let me get that honey. You know good and well that's women's work.", etc.
