I think they still make these but they're just hidden in the toy aisle of the dollar store

I was going to say that although I am THAT old, I was also THAT poor as a kid.

[-] Klear@quokk.au 7 points 1 month ago

You call that being THAT poor? I'm THAT old AND I only got to play this when visiting a friend.

You may be old, but are you this fucking old?

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 24 points 1 month ago

I love Lemmy because there's always someone around that makes me feel that I might not be that old after all.

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 7 points 1 month ago

Yay, I can only say one of them applies. The Electric Company was awesome. Did have a bit at Pong, but only the 2600 version, which I think was after the initial.

And yes, I had a few of the water things in my day. They always eventually leaked.

Ok, now that's just mean.

Oh man, the hairdo on Miss Sally (was that her name?).

[-] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

I see that and I'll raise you this bad boy.

[-] binarytobis@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I was nostalgically pleased to find one of these in Coin Game. They also had one of those vortex things where you put a coin in and it slowly circles into the donation hole.

Ive never seen that before and now I want to take my entire jar of coins to gamble for a taco

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 month ago

[-] you_are_dust@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Yes, I am that old. My back hurts.

[-] quediuspayu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago

Yes, and I excelled at them.

[-] DoomGuy_e66@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

That damned thing used to get on my nerves when I was little.

[-] rockandsock@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Yeah, those were always fun for a few weeks until they started leaking.

[-] Magnum@infosec.pub 3 points 1 month ago
