i think you’ve got snakes on your internet

I’ve been having entirely too much fun this afternoon having Samuel L. Jackson make personal phone calls to my friends and co-workers, demanding that they go see Snakes on Plane. “Hi, this is Samuel L. Jackson. You may remember me from such films as Pulp Fiction, Star Wars, and The Incredibles. But I’m here today to tell you about a movie that’s near and dear to my heart.

Blip: The Digital Game

Look what I found in my closet! It’s Blip: The Digital Game, by Tomy! 1977! I can’t believe I still have this thing. I LOOOOOOOVED to play this game. It was like an early version of Pong, where a little red LED light would mechanically move back and forth across the playing field and you had to press the right button, 1, 2, or 3, to send it back to the other side. I think, in fact, the entire thing is mechancially operated, not electronic. It does require batteries, and unfortunately one of the contacts seems to have corroded. I wonder if I can get that repaired?? You had to be really fast with the eye-hand coordination on this game; it was by no means easy.
