Nintendo the 21st Best Toy of All Time--WTF?
That's about 20 spots too low, bub.


Seriously, is there another toy that's eaten up more of your time?

2. There were no video games when I was a kid.
Etch-A-Skctch, Tinker Toys and Lincoln Logs, baby.
Teevee was also black and white, and went off the air around midnight with a test pattern. Three, maybe four channels, if you had local UHF stations. And us kids were the remote.

4. I was born 2 years after Mario came out...

10. Or what we called the "Sheboygan antenna."
That was the antenna on the roof with a rotor, or two antennas on one pole, one facing Green Bay, the other Milwaukee. :-)

3. What!!?? Not PONG!!??
I did love Nintendo though. Especially the the really deep games like Castlevania and Kid Icarus. Tecmo Bowl ruled it too.

Zelda II: The Adventure of Link is a close second.
