I'm retro, baby!

When I was a youngster, years before my drinking days, when my life still had promise, I got an Atari 2600 for Christmas. My brother and I spent countless hours playing games like Berzerk, Pitfall, Pac-Man and Basketball (this one provided minutes of fun).

For well over a decade, my beloved Atari had been locked away in a box, deep in a basement in rural North Dakota. But no more! I have rescued it and it now can regain its former glory in my spare bedroom.

Last night I played the same games I did when I was nine, except this time I was drunk. And if you look closely at the picture, you will also see a Sega Genesis. Nice.
