I had the Sears telegames console which was at the same time as the Atari 2600, was modeled 100% off it (including joysticks) where they made their own versions of some Atari games and Atari/Telegames cartridges were physically identical so they could both be played on my console. My parents probably saved like 40 bucks. At first when I opened it I gave a WTF look at them being the entitled brat I was, but when it took the Atari cartridges I accepted it and moved on.Competitor, but 5yrs apart on release. Colecovision even had an expansion module that allowed it to play Atari 2600 games and use the Atari2600 joy stick... which Atari took offense to, and took them to court, but it never went to trial as they negotiated a mutually beneficial agreement instead.

I had that also but figured no one would know what the hell I was talking about. From my recollection it was actually made for Sears by Atari. Sears did a lot of that back in the day. They exclusive Star Wars and GI Joe figures and some other stuff.

You’re the only other person I’ve ever met who had it! Most people have no idea. Kids would come over and be confused until they saw it work.

Sears was top shit back in the day. My grandmother had lake front property near Cleveland and bought a cottage for it out if a Sears and Robuck catalog. Was about 1100 square feet 2 bed one bath. Spent most of my childhood summers there

There’s a Sears Craftsman Bungalow style house on every block in central Denver to this day. Tons of them, and they go for ridiculous prices.
There are a few left in Raleigh.
Kenmore appliances were top notch before things started going to sh*t.
Was just talking about these at lunch today. Kismet!

My wife has always had these fuzzy purple pajamas so I've been calling her Grimace for years.
For halloween this year I'm trying to get her to throw on a black cape over it to go as the Grimace Reaper. Maybe have her carry around a bunch of crumpled up McDonald's bags.

I don't trust what's on that Sailor Moon disk. Japan be like: "what if this program opened a portal to the 9th gate of hell?" "sir this is a kids show" "OK but the demons have that sweat drop thing on their heads" "perfection."
That sailor moon disk probably gets you 10 to 20 in prison.

Yeah, but what for? Is it something fellow residents will respect or get me pummeled every day?
My guess is the latter. Not necessarily because of the content, but since most prisons are filled with Boston fans, you being a Cane fan will give them the excuse.
If you are going to have a mid-life crisis, go big or go home, am I right?
