Rowsdower70 Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Every week at the flea market, I set up a console on display to draw in visitors. Today was the Atari Vader's day in the sun. One my favorite things about what I do is seeing young kids pick up those old controllers and see their eyes light up. It doesn't take long before they crack a big ol' smile. It probably isn't as magical for this generation of technology, but you can tell the spirit of those games are timeless.

RickR Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 It's really kind of funny how you have to explain how to use a joystick to kids, as no modern system uses one. It's kind of like a rotary dial phone...they have no clue. Luckily, it just takes a moment to explain and understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always just known how to use a joystick... it must be because I have skills just kidding! Retro obsessed dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you should say that Rick, they held the sticks fine...but when I told them they had to use the reset switch to start the game it blew their mind.
