RickR

There's a constant 2-way battle going on in my mind.  There are no winners. 
 

I shoveled our driveway last night so we could get the car out.  And today, my wife and I shoveled an elderly neighbor's sidewalk/driveway.  My noodle arms are so tired, I may not play video games for a week.

I recommend Ice Climber! 

We had a wonderful valentines day here, we went to play 18 holes of mini-golf and then later in the day we went out to eat at a favorite restaurant. It was a beautiful day and we had a lot of fun. I hope this year is tremendous for you 🌞

They took liberties. Many changes were made to the story.  Many characters combined or missing entirely.  That's fine, though.  I appreciate that the movie is 90 minutes, and to do that changes had to be made. 

In general, the spirit of the book is all there. 

I just found the CGI dogs to be fake looking. 

Lesson 1:  Learn and master the universal gesture for drivers.

Here you go, Harry.  This Yars' box is probably the very worst in my collection.  Here's a picture of the innards to give you an idea.  I can't pull the liner out, as I Elmer's glued the bottom shut. 

 

The least expensive Ebay copy needs a RickR end label. 
 

Get yourself a time machine.  Go back to 1984 and find a Kay-Bee Toys.  Look in the clearance bin.

Made in Ann Arbor, MI in 1978

It was a great place.  I bought a lot of games there.  After the crash, that clearance table/bin was magical.  I remember buying ET for $2.  Infiltrate, Krull, and a bunch of other kind of obscure games came from them.  I remember saving as much cash as I could muster for those trips to the local mall.

Pro-tip:  The USPS Priority Mail small flat rate boxes fit perfectly with minimal cutting to height.  Putting one of those inside the box as a liner will square it up nicely. 
 

Last night I sat down and devoted some time to this game. I had played it only to test it out before this.
And, it's great! I love all the different variations. I'd have to say my favorite is #3, the one with two balls and two paddles. I really, really like the graphics, colors, and sound in this game as well. 
@Gianna would be proud.

Good thing I saved one from when I bought Food Fight, Galaga, and Xevious. Let's see how this works after a few hours or a day or so.

From the looks of it, I think it might have been one of the bricks in the game at some point.
