    EG was required reading. And we had plenty of time to do that. In between turns in games like Video Pinball, or games where the second player would wait and wait and wait. While waiting we'd always read something from the stack of EG.
     
    I don't directly recall the demise, couldn't say what issue, but all of a sudden the content didn't resonate with us anymore. And we stopped subscribing or buying.

    There's several bands from that era that are long overdue. Jouney for one.
     
    And I think Jeff Lynne just got either inducted or nominated. Something. Someone want to clarify that?

    ...I figure I'll start things off with a bang.  Behold!
     

     

     
    I love, love, love my 2800.  Everything about it!  Don't get me wrong, I love a woodgrain sixer like anyone else, but there's just something about this thing that grabs me by the shoulders and demands my attention:
     

     
    It's got a great overall look, but there's also the little things, like the Atari plates on the controllers:
     

     
    Got a 4-player game?  Got you covered:
     

     
    Sure, I can't play Space Shuttle on it very easily:
     

     
    And I do wonder why my controllers weren't manufactured at the same time the console was made:
     

     
    I mean, is it a Sears Video Arcade II with different plates?  Well, yeah.  But regardless -- this is beautiful technology to me, and it's easy for me to see why they modeled the 7800 on this design.
     
    More to come!
