Oh gee thanks. 

One thing Xbox did right was no long waits to play your game unless you want to install it to the hard drive. Sometimes a game has a patch to update it with anything new to the dashboard but it's super quick. What do gamers want? They want to jump in and play right away. That's a no brainer for any console maker. What's up Sony?

My Grandmother gave me my first poached eggs and Kholrabi. The eggs were great, the Kholrabi (also called German Turnip) was not. German Grandmas apparently don't make cookies. Now how am I going to make cookies in Cookie Clicker with such a Grandma? You tell me.

I agree with all that.

Driver issues. One thing I don't miss from PC gaming.

Maybe you mean Ms. Pac-Man because the first one on 2600 was not great as I remember it. 

My favorite hobby when I was under ten was building plastic models like this one:

A member of the band I used to be in was in college in the 70's and I was so envious because he got to see my favorite bands play the College circuit like Genesis and King Crimson live. I didn't like the 80's music I had to put up with in my High School years.

It's a fair cop. Take me away. 

I was wondering when it came out because there are lots of images for the TV Scoreboard system with the light gun out there and few of this one. It seems like a simpler deck, maybe a cheaper model. Look at this version. It's got toggles!

If I had to choose a year for when video games really started in earnest, I would say 1977. Atari's home console was a big Xmas item and arcades were starting to appear everywhere.
