Cleaning out the Storage Garage
« on: May 06, 2006, 09:22:30 pm »
My parents have had a storage garage for as long as I can remember, but they finally decided to get rid of it.  I had been keeping a lot of old junk down there and they told me I had to come and get all my stuff because they weren't going to keep it at their house.

Heres a couple of the more interesting things I found:
TI-99/4A computer with the program recorder addon, along with the games Pole Position, Hunt the Wumpus, Jawbreaker II, Parsec, and Blasto.  I have no idea if any of it works, but I'll definately have to hook it up and find out.

I also found a transformer type quartz watch still in the box, and according to the box the watch turns into a "High Performace Magic Robot"  which is a good thing because I hate regular performace magic robots.

A handheld Conic Electronic Football game that still works, sound and all.
A handheld tiger electronic pinball.
an ALF comic book
and a ton of other random crap.  Just thought I'd share :)

I suggest you wear this to the next wedding that your wife forces you to go to. Make sure you show it to everyone. If you're not married, I'd like to further suggest that you hang on to it for future use.

Nevermind.
