This is a thread about my joystick.<br /><br />Atari 2600.<br /><br />Big block with a really nice games...<br /><br />I brought my Atari with my friend when I was a kid, we nearly forgot to buy the thing, we where stuck.<br /><br />Two gamers was born.<br /><br />Two best friends where stuck for years.<br /><br />Playing with the joystick.<br /><br />Hide and seek was great on the Atari, I always cheated, well nearly always.<br /><br />There was a airplane game which we think is a never ending game.<br /><br />There was a horse riding game too, got no clue how that worked...<br /><br />As I overused the joystick with my friend day in and day out for years we started to look for newer consoles.<br /><br />I love my joystick.<br /><br />My friend got a NES from his brother.<br /><br />We where stunned by the graphics.<br /><br />We didn't have a joystick, I was sad.<br /><br />I loved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for the NES.<br /><br />We played it a lot.<br /><br />I got a SNES.<br /><br />My friend was sad.<br /><br />I never let him to play.<br /><br />I wanted to show him how great I was instead.<br /><br />I loved the Atari joystick...<br /><br />Super Mario was so fun.<br /><br />Boing boing boing splat woho 1up!<br /><br />I kept on buying games for the SNES.<br /><br />MY friend and I was SO addicted now.<br /><br />Fuck life.<br /><br />But we had no first person shooters.<br /><br />We still went out to run around in the forest and play with sticks.<br /><br />"HA! My stick has auto mega kill! I win by just sitting here!"<br /><br />I still love the Atari joystick.<br /><br />Then my other friend got a Sega Mega Drive with Sonic.<br /><br />So fun, we had so fun.<br /><br />Still not first person shooter...<br /><br />We went outside to play Zelda.<br /><br />Someone had to be the shop keeper, the other one was the hero which ran around randomly, collecting leafs to buy a bigger stick from the shop.<br /><br />I can't stop dreaming about the joystick that started it all...<br /><br />We never brought a Nintendo 64.<br /><br />I wanted one but it was "the console every kid wanted but can't afford".<br /><br />Oh and "It's All About The Pentium's" by Weird Al is so cool...<br /><br />As no new console entered my life I kept on getting slaughtered by my friend in Mortal Kombat (it's actually spelled with a "K").<br /><br />Fatality.<br /><br />Flawless victory.<br /><br />Babality!<br /><br />Johnny Cage was so cool in the movies.<br /><br />As I watched Robocop with my dad I thought it over, what now.<br /><br />Shall I blow someones hand off and hope he turns into some kind of super cop?<br /><br />Atari joysticks are so cool...<br /><br />I kept on thinking while my dad had a fight with mom for buying a really expensive gray box.<br /><br />I thought; expensive box? Right. It's not even colored!<br /><br />Went to my friend to keep on playing Sonic.<br /><br />Someone I knew said he was hiding pictures of girls inside a old tree in the forest.<br /><br />Fuck that.<br /><br />I hate school, it's boring.<br /><br />Me and my friend got bored once and said we both where sick and made a fake cough.<br /><br />Teacher sent us home.<br /><br />Day off eh...<br /><br />I read chess books.<br /><br />I found out that the gray box my dad was using came with a TV screen that's sometimes completely blue with some weird text or shows some big image with the text "Windows 95".<br /><br />The fuck, he brought 95 TV windows?<br /><br />Waste of cash.<br /><br />Dad explained what it was.<br /><br />He said that we should buy a game and test it on this gray box.<br /><br />I just can't stop thinking about the Atari joystick... it started everything.<br /><br />I got hocked on "Death Rally" which was the game we brought for that box of gray.<br /><br />Wroom wroom.<br /><br />Quite fun.<br /><br />Years later I was going to get my own gray box!<br /><br />A new console?<br /><br />I was happy.<br /><br />Dad brought MDK.<br /><br />Yay.<br /><br />Fun.<br /><br />Except I still dream about the Atari joystick.<br /><br />From there it went on...<br /><br />Until I found...<br /><br /><br /><b>THE INTERNET.</b><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7497540592251379224-2717494899874937793?l=lancershole.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Freelancerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12185095853052093861noreply@blogger.com0
