Atari 2600 Game by Game Podcast #67.5 - Favorite Childhood Toys OTHER Than The Atari 2600

Hi everybody, I feel a little guilty about not having an episode this week. This one is not about the 2600 though; rather, it's about the other toys I had and enjoyed as a kid. I don't necessarily think of the 2600 as a toy, but it was the last toy-like thing that I remember getting. I was 11 when I got it and was 8 months away from Middle School, which changed a lot of things for me. I was also a year from my first job as a paperboy, so I had cash in my pocket for the first time. I would either save up for an Atari cartridge or blow it at an arcade, I don't remember buying toys. Not until my 20s at least, which you'll hear about soon on the Retro Junkies Mini episode I did. I hope you like this episode, but I won't blame you for skipping it. Don't forget, next week we'll be taking a trip to the Atari Casino with Blackjack, uh, Casino, and Slot Machine. If you have any feedback you can send it to me at 2600gamebygame@comcast.net. Thanks everyone, enjoy the week and I'll see you on the 23rd!

Colecovisions # 2 - Smurf Rescue in Gargamel's Castle, Gamerster81 the VideoGame and Electronic Quarterback

This month Socal and I discuss Smurf Rescue in Gargamel's Castle and also Gamerster81 the Videogame!   We have a special guest on the show this month Mr. Gamester81 himself to discuss his game and also to participate in all the shenaningans Socal and I get into.

Socal and I compete for the high score in both Smurf Rescue and Gamerster81 the Videogame on this episode.   And have to put up with Socal's Amiga Powerstick envy :), plus discuss some recent Colecovision news and pickups.

Trisha is back with another great Cabbage Patch Corner segment!

We also discuss Coleco Electronic Quarterback and how it made Socal feel superior to his friends growing up :).

Craigslist Coleco search and the Quiz Whiz Challenger are also on tap!
