      The good ol' days, buying a 7800 at The Federated Group. Shadow Stevens would get you a game for free. The other kids would play on Skip Its and Pogo Balls at the Time -Out Tunnels while Max Headroom reminded you V was on at 8 o'clock, Pacific, Central and Mountain on NBC. On the way home, Straw Hat Pizza.

    I was a 7800 kid, too. I don't think I had Dig Dug on the 7800. Mostly because I know my family had the C64 version. Which was probably good enough that I didn't bother also getting in for the 7800.
    I do remember getting my 7800 on Christmas 1987 with Ball Blazer.

    Don't have Dig Dug for 7800, but I do for 2600 and 5200. Gotta try the 5200 version again.

    i never liked atari's consoles. lynx was ok, but epyx made that. i liked atari arcade games, however. sorry bro, but... metroid stomps all over dig dug. but at least u had interest in the basics back then. dig dug and robotron and galaga and pacman and donkey kong, etc etc. i played those, too, but prefered the arcade versions back then. i didnt get excited for home consoles until the NES to be honest. yep.. super mario lol. but that wasnt the first nes game i played! i think it was ice climber or rygar or ghosts n goblins. it was hard not to be impressed. i call the sears catalog the "dream weaver" lol. because those that didnt grow up with those catalogs have no idea what they missed. grandma, circa 1982: "circle want u want in the catalog for christmas!" me, circa 1982: (circles everything). grandma: "i couldnt decide what to get u.. so... here's socks"

    what's better about the future is that the Kingdom of God is at hand... more imminent than it's ever been. And NOTHING... not even the 80's... yes, not even Mr. T. hurling someone through a plate glass window... can compare to it. it is the pearl of great price... but only for those who repent. And therein lies the problem for most people: that Jesus Christ is eternal life in eternal glory and splendor... and yet everyone hates Him.
    "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life..... And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved." ~ john 3:16,19-20
