Right on, mama! Where's my He-man, or Transformers (and not the crappy remakes) or Voltron, Thundercats, Dungeons and Dragons, G-Force (so lame that they renamed it Sabain's Eagle Riders and tried to pass it off as a new show a few years back), Kidd Video, Thundar the Barbarian...I could go on forever...

Funny thing is, while I rememeber there being really cool Saturday morning cartoons, I can't remember what they were, except for D&D. The rest of the cool stuff I watched was on during the week after school. I think the Smurfs were the weekend also.
Other fun 80s shows, A-Team, Knight Rider, Airwolf, Street Hawk... and then less kiddy shows but still cool shows like Magnum PI. Whee.

I have my Nintendo hooked up to my TV and still play it, but R.O.B. and the Zapper gun are sitting in the box in my closet. I never liked either of those.
Oh and my favorite cartoon was G.I. Joe. Knowing is half the battle.... |

I didn't have a colecovision, but I did have an Adam and my older brother had a pong machine.
My first "real" PC was a Tandy 1000 EX which featured no hard drive, 256k RAM, only 5.25" floppy drive, and a 8088 7Mhz processor. The processor could be slowed to 4.77Mhz if 7Mhz was too fast for your applications.
I wrote my first game on that machine, and it featured a city called Wargale.
