I know there's a bit difference in tastes about woodgrain between Europe and the US. I always hated the fake looking woodgrain on f.i. cocktails. I mean, no furniture here in Europe ever looked like that kind of wood.... Even the more strange to see something like this. By he way I am ASSUMING it's German, not 100% sure. Haven't had time to go to that store that's selling it, maybe tomorrow... |

You could probably blame Ralph Baer and his Odyssey for that snappy woodgrain look. |
| Level42:
Yeah, ain't it funny that woodgrain was ALSO copied by Atari on the 2600 ? :D And my brother and I thought that was tacky too then........but man, that 2600 itself was like a technical miracle...when it was new. |

Atari wasn't the only one. My folks had one of these beauties for years. They tried to give it to me for a school car when I was 16. I was so embarrassed of it, I didn't get my license until I was 18 and bought my own truck. ::) |
