Commodore 64? Atari? Dudes, pocket calculators were my fascination. Especially when you could punch in certian numbers then turn the thing upside down and the display would show words!

I used to have a "transitor radio", man that was cool...in 1961.

Used to walk several blocks to school across major highways...and I was in the 1st grade. Parents would freak nowadays.

You're right, we had most of our fun playing games with friends outside and hated to stay inside. Video games were not even a thought. Phones were all had round dials, only Dick Tracy had a portable phone/radio...

I actually miss those days, when relationships with friends was what it was all about, and inventing ways to have fun...

now you just type in the word with the buttons with the letters on them

That post got me thinking of a little game my friends and I called " Ditch".

A bunch of us on bikes would randomly designate someone as "it", and the rest of us would split up. it was his job to find everyone before sunset.

We always chose the same kid and I don't think he ever really "got it".
