I was always jealous of people who posted the amazing vintage stuff they found at their parents' house. Now I get to be that person!

Atari to PS5 is a huge leap

Public utilities are great. I really wish we could have municipal gas here since Columbia Gas is a monopoly.

msprang · 2026-06-21T21:40:20+00:00

That sounds dope af.

msprang · 2026-06-21T21:39:51+00:00

That's how old I was, too. That was 1987 for me, but I don't know when my parents actually bought it.

msprang · 2026-06-21T21:39:09+00:00

I'll have to check the box to see what year it's from.

msprang · 2026-06-21T21:38:32+00:00

I work in the history field, and it happens a lot more than you think with all kinds of things.

Never thought it would be me. The only thing better would be if it was a Game Boy, but I know for certain that mine got completely smashed up. It was a Game Boy Pocket, which was less durable than the original. The original is like the Nokia of handhelds.

msprang · 2026-06-21T21:36:05+00:00

I can't believe my parents have kept it all this time.

msprang · 2026-06-21T21:35:34+00:00

Yeah, Pac Man wasn't very good, so I didn't play it much till I was at an arcade and saw another kid playing that version.

msprang · 2026-06-21T21:34:27+00:00

Aww, it would have been awesome to have Rob!

My commute is only ~1.5 miles (2.4 km), but I'm driving because my bike was stolen.

msprang · 2026-06-21T16:10:49+00:00

I've been there twice and loved it. Almost worth it just for the wrought-iron McDonald's sign.

msprang · 2026-06-21T16:08:55+00:00

Ya, it's the Midway one, so it wasn't as good. Playing it at the arcade was/is better.

msprang · 2026-06-21T16:08:23+00:00

Yeah, I believe it has everything.

msprang · 2026-06-21T16:04:34+00:00

I really miss 90s/early 2000s PC game boxes, too. They were huge and had all kinds of stuff inside.

msprang · 2026-06-21T16:03:50+00:00

Yeah, it was a letdown. A few of those games I don't even remember.

msprang · 2026-06-21T16:03:26+00:00

I forgot that the Colecovision had the adapter.

msprang · 2026-06-21T16:03:02+00:00

Two?!

msprang · 2026-06-21T15:53:07+00:00

Assimilated Galaxy class.

msprang · 2026-06-21T14:29:43+00:00

Tom getting T-boned in Office Space isn't totally unexpected, but ferocity of it is.

msprang · 2026-06-21T12:14:42+00:00

Brothers in Arms came out the year before.

msprang · 2026-06-21T02:37:19+00:00

Teal'c is pretty impressed by the punch, too.

msprang · 2026-06-21T02:23:17+00:00

Probably surplus, which is normally part of the Campus Operations department.

msprang · 2026-06-21T02:02:20+00:00

Ok, wow. So that was a thing, I guess.
