Should I buy this ugly beast ?

<< < (3/3)

Level42:
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...

Jake:
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.

IG-88:
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.  ::)

Get it just so can you can you have a woodie!
